Among other things, I have the following in my delegated zone file (note, domain is NOT rwasphost.com)...
;
; Zone NS records
;
@ NS dns1.rwasphost.com.
dns1.rwasphost.com. A 64.222.127.135
@ NS dns2.rwasphost.com.
dns2.rwasphost.com. A 207.40.153.2
WITH the A records, Microsoft DNS server "knows" that each NS points to the specified A... without the A records, Microsoft DNS server "figures out" what IP each NS points to (in the SOA, under "Name Servers", if the A's are undefined, the IP address has an asterisk indicating "* represents an IP address retrieved as the result of a DNS query and may not represent actual records stored on this server".)
Is there ANY reason to keep these A records? I'm trying to migrate my DNS servers, and it seems to me that if all my zones specify NS records, and their corresponding A records, then I'll have more A's to manage when I migrate.
I'd much prefer to remove the A's as follows:
;
; Zone NS records
;
@ NS dns1.rwasphost.com.
@ NS dns2.rwasphost.com.
Is the above still good?
