[SOLVED] Split-DNS: A-record in /etc/bind/db.mydomain.com

[john99]

Hello

I should set up Zimbra in a non direct mail delivery environment (downloading mails with POP3(?)/fetchmail(?)
stored in our mbox at our ISP's mailsystem to our Zimbra test environment
and do have a question concerning the /etc/bind/db.mydomain.com ....

[/CODE]

db.mydomain.com

$TTL    604800
@       IN      SOA     mail.mydomain.com. hostmaster.mydomain.com. (
           2008092607           ; Serial
                         604800         ; Refresh
                          86400         ; Retry
                        2419200         ; Expire
                         604800 )       ; Negative Cache TTL
;
                        IN              NS              mail.mydomain.com.
                        IN              MX 10           mail.mydomain.com.
mail                    IN              A                       10.0.0.1

Question:

Is "mail.mydomain.com" the fully quailfied domain name of my Zimbra-box or our dedicated
Split-DNS-server? E.g.something like "mailtractor.lan.abcdefghi.com"
(mailtractor would be the machine name and "lan.abcdefghi.com" the
domainname ?


Thank's a lot for any help!

John


PS
- we currently have only a dyn IP from our ISP
- we are behind NAZ/Firwall
- IP(fix) of ZCS-box: 10.0.1.10 ( machine-name: nsizhma01 )
- IP(fix) if Split-DNS: 10.0.1.50 ( machine-name: nsizhns01 )
- domainname: lan.abcdefghi.com

Is "mail.mydomain.com" the fully quailfied domain name of my Zimbra-box...

Yes, that would be correct.

Question:
Should the A-record point to the IP of the Zimbra-box or to the internal DNS-server ?
.

There really wasn't much point in starting another thread about the same subject, I've merged the two threads.

It's the IP of the Zimbra server, why would it be pointing to the DNS server?

Thank a lot phoenix for the speedy answer :-)

That's ok!

Ok I understand now..


Thank's!
