in response to my questions yesterday REF: " setting up a new domain"
Kevin Darcy had asked me if i *need* to have multiple pointer records .
I'm not sure.
I have have 2 domains that need to share the same address space
I have 1 dns server which must host ns.domain1 & ns.domain2
all address space is shared between the two domains. eg,...
host1.domain1 IN A 10.1.1.1
also
host1.domain2 IN A 10.1.1.1
I understand fully the New Zone files i must create for the forward
lookup,..but it gets confusing to me when i have to do a reverse. if
a user uses domain1 or domain2 they should both return the same IP.
However,...if a user types in the ip,...I suspect it should return
both entries.
I have read through the Archives that many apps don't use the second
entry ( I guess they are poorly written ).
Can i use two PTR records? is there a better method to accomplish this task?
any info would be helpful.
Thanks
