I have a (dv) Dedicated Virtual hosting environment running Plesk 11 at Media Temple. I am able to control the Default DNS Zone Template used to create new virtual hosts as I add customers.
Forgive my naivety, but my question is: do I need the NS, A and AAAA records for ns.<domain>.
in the template? None of my customers will be running their own name servers at NS.<domain>
. BUT I have configured BIND/named to use private name servers for my master domain (NS and NS2.MYDOMAIN.COM). Will removing them from the template, interfere?
My default template has the following records:
Host Record type Value
<domain>. NS ns.<domain>. #needed?
<domain>. A <ip>
<domain>. AAAA <ipv6>
<domain>. MX (10) mail.<domain>.
<domain>. TXT v=spf1 +a +mx -all
<ip> / 24 PTR <domain>.
<ipv6> / 64 PTR <domain>.
ftp.<domain>. CNAME <domain>.
ipv4.<domain>. A <ip>
ipv6.<domain>. AAAA <ipv6>
mail.<domain>. A <ip>
mail.<domain>. AAAA <ipv6>
ns.<domain>. A <ip> #needed?
ns.<domain>. AAAA <ipv6> #needed?
webmail.<domain>. A <ip>
webmail.<domain>. AAAA <ipv6>
I appreciate your insight, thanks.
