Re: A Question about the pobox.com wizard

So, like, the other day "Kevin Reed" mumbled:

The only listed MX is

jdl.com.                3296    IN      MX      10 mail.jdl.com.

Right.

# dig jdl.com

www.jdl.com.            3600    IN      A       192.207.126.5

Yep.

gets you the IP of 192.207.126.5 and when you look that up...

# dig -x 192.207.126.5

5.126.207.192.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN     PTR     mail.jdl.com.
5.126.207.192.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN     PTR     chrome.jdl.com.
5.126.207.192.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN     PTR     jdl.com.
5.126.207.192.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN     PTR     www.jdl.com.

Right.  And that is the missing step I blitzed.  There are
other host names, but I don't need reverses for them.

Instead of using CNAME's, you have setup A RR's for the other names
you use on the same IP.

There are no CNAMEs anywhere in my DNS configuration.
All my machines names are listed explicitly with A records.

I may have held a grad school office with Paul Albitz, but I'm
not claiming to be a DNS Expert (tm)... :-)  I'm not saying what
I have is _right_, just what it currently _is_.  You know.
