Maybe it should be: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > I have a static IP with me which is yet to be registered for the > domain name. > Since I am new to this task and don't know how to go about it. > Though I have read from a site www.dyndns.org, and they suggest that > the static IP should be on the hostname host1.domain.com for above > example. > Am I right in understanding that? > Also please let me know the step by step process of how to go about > it, including how to request for the MX and A records settings. Since you are the Research Assistant you need to do a little more research. 1] You need to register a domain. 2] Setup a dns server on the public side for your domain 3] Tell your registrar to point the NS records to your dns server. 4] Setup dns servers for the sub-domains. 5] Put NS records for the sub-domains in the dns server for the domain. 6] Setup mail servers for the sub-domains. 7] Put MX records for the same in the sub-domain dns servers. OR 1] Do only the domain part. 2] Setup local mail servers for the sub-domains. 3] Give mail ids as [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4] In the domain mail server user virtualuser mappings to distribute mails to the local mail servers. Lastly, whichever way you go you have some sleepless days and nights ahead. Regards Ami ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
