Zone file

[Bob Vance]

I don't understand why are we putting the "23" record in there at all.
It's equivalent to saying:

23.3dsources.com.	CNAME	space1

Who will be needing "23.3dsources.com.".

I think that this was his attempt at a reverse entry, which opens up a whole
other can of worms.

If you really wanted to be tight/compact/non-redudant/etc, here's how I'd
do it --


@	IN	SOA space1.3dsources.com. markloky.netvigator.com. (
	1 10800 3600 604800 86400 )

	NS	space1
	MX 5	space1
space1	A	202.85.156.23
space1	MX 5	space1
23	CNAME	space1
www	CNAME	space1


Notes -- end the SOA details with a ), not a }, and any @ character
in the mailaddr value should always be replaced with a ., such as
markloky.netvigator.com. Also, if your "origin" has already been defined
('3dsources.com'), there's no reason to repeat it at the end of each
record.
