[SOLVED] Please Help w/ DNS configuration

[tgeorge]

Trying to install Zimbra 5.0.11 on ubuntu 8.04. The install bombs out because of incorrect DNS and or mx record. I also need to know how to configure the mx record.

Here is my cat /etc/hosts code:

taylor@Zimbra:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
156.142.*.* Zimbra.domain.com

I have just revised my old beginner's guide for v. 6 to do an install on 8.04. This wiki has detailed information on setting up the split DNS for Ubuntu as well. You can see it here:
