I use Bind 4.9.7
So, does that mean that:
If my DNS host, registered at Internic, is called
Host name: ns1.dnsserver.com
IP #: 218.232.198.5
does my NT server have to be configured:
Computer name: ns1
Host name: dnsserver.com
NIC IP: 218.232.198.5
Or, can the IP number: 218.232.198.5 be bound in the Advanced Tab of NT.
