Hi,
I am having some trouble getting dns right at the server of an ISP. In the web-interface I see @ and * in the localname column. I suppose it is some form of wildcard, and I can understand * (all of it, I suppose) but what does @ mean?
@ is the root name of the zone, the "origin". Normally, this is the base domain name. e.g. in my case it is rydsbo.net
So, if I understand correctly, there can only be one of these for each type of record? If I want to add a backup MX, it must have a "real" localname?
One @ per zone, not per record
Ah, @ means mydomain.tld
A backup MX needs to be reachable. It doesn't necessarily need to belong to the same domain. Domain foo.com can have primary mx mail.foo.com and backup mx mail.bar.net
Understand, thanks very much for explaining :-)
