Chapt 18 Configuring DNS

**latcarf** · 08-18-2005, 02:09 AM

First, I have found the HowTos @ linuxhomenetworking to be a great resource for a newb like me, thanks!

In the Conf DNS chapter, the Sample Forward Zone File (pg 14 in print) the zone file has an NS record as

Code:

NS   www   ; inet address of nameserver

and a CNAME record as

Code:

ns1     CNAME   bigbot

Is the NS record a typo? Shouldn't it be ns1 instead of www?

Dear latcarf,
