OK, here's what you should enter into RRs.
I'll precede records with "RR> " (that's not actually part of the
record).
First of all, your domain should have its own IP address.
You now specify IP address of your domain test.dhs.org; assuming your IP
is 123.0.0.0 the record is:
RR> test.dhs.org. IN A 123.0.0.0
Now specify the nameservers that serve your domain:
RR> test.dhs.org. IN NS ns1.granitecanyon.com.
RR> test.dhs.org. IN NS ns2.granitecanyon.com.
If you want your domain to be accessible through www.test.dhs.org you
need to create a canonical name for www:
RR> www IN CNAME test.dhs.org.
The same way, if your server handles your domain's mail, you can call it
mail.test.dhs.org for example:
RR> mail IN CNAME test.dhs.org.
RR> test.dhs.org. IN MX 10 mail.test.dhs.org.
Now add localhost entry (granitecanyon requires it), and DON'T
substitute 127.0.0.1 with your own IP:
RR> localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
Create a Responsible Person (RP) entry, using your data
[email at provider.com]:
RR> test.dhs.org. IN RP email.provider.com.
Firstname.Lastname.test.dhs.org.
RR> Firstname.Lastname.test.dhs.org. IN TXT "Firstname Lastname"
This should be enough to get you going. Also see granitecanyon's FAQs
for any errors you might encounter.
