I have been hosting one domain on my name server for some time now. Now I
am trying to host another domain on this one name server. I have two
questions:
Both my forward lookup zones and reverse lookup zones currently have the
following NS Record
IN NS nameserver.mydomain.com
Currently I have one forward lookup zone, db.mydomain.com with A Records for
all the hosts for that domain. Additionally I have several reverse lookup
zones that reflect my subnets.
When I create the new domain/zone mydomain.net should it have the same name
server as the above or should I make the NS record reflect the zone name?
IN NS nameserver.mydomain.net
and then give the name server an A record in the forware lookup zone for
that domain?
My second question is what to do about the reverse lookup zones. I have two
mail exchangers that serve both domains:
mail.mydomain.com
mail2.mydomain.com
mail IN A 192.168.1.134
mail2 IN A 192.168.1.131
and
mail.mydomain.net
mail2.mydomain.net
mail IN A 192.168.1.131
mail2 IN A 192.168.1.134
Can I put both hosts in the reverse lookup zone? If so, how do you do it?
I cannot find how to do this in DNS and BIND and I cannnot find any examples
