Sunny,
It's this line:
IN A 217.8.216.11
for a specific host within the domain, it would read somehost IN A aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
Leaving out the "somehost" part tells it to resolve the domain with
no hostname to that address.
Thanks Ian.
Now, I'm confused. Reading Admin Guide (SuSE 9.3, dead tree version), on pages 434-435 there is a sample listing of DNS config, and there is (lines 12-13 of the listing):
gateway IN A 192.168.0.1 IN A 192.168.1.1
Then, on page 436, in the explanation of lines 12-17 there is: "Two IP addresses are assigned to the host gateway, because it has two network cards."
Is it wrong documentation, or I miss something?
I assume order matters...the blank-host definition of the domain resolution needs to be the first A-record defined, I would guess? I actually hadn't ever noticed that before. Interesting. Named has all sorts of funny little quirks.
