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?
