Hi all I am using CentOS 4 Linux. I have been allocated a live IP from my ISP HFCL Ltd. I intend to run 5 mail domains, with multiple sub-domains, on this IP.
My ISP has listed My Org name in the ARIN database, though my own abuse & contact email addresses are missing, which I intend to ask them to add. Q: I don't have a user-Handle in ARIN database...can I have my own abuse & contact email addresses in the ARIN database records? I presently don't really understand the exact technical working of DNS, though I broadly understand how & what it does. However, I intend to install DJBDNS server on my IP and update slave DNS servers on free services or maybe even a commercial one.Presently I am using Zoneedit.com free DNS servers to resolve my .in domain names. However, my domains don't provide reverse lookups, hence lots of networks refuse my mail. Q: Who is required to provide reverse lookups...my own DNS server? or does my ISP have to do something in this? like he had to provide an ARIN entry so anyone looking up the IP can get my organization name! I mean I would be adding new domains & sub-domains, so does their reverse resolution have anything to do with the ISP? can't my DNS server handle that? I actually don't understand delegation? especially for a single IP/multiple domains? How its done & who does it in such a case. Q: Whois lookup of my .in domain queries ncst whois server, which simply does not respond. Is the NCST whois server having any problem? Or is it some problem at my end? How do I find out? Hope someone will take the trouble to give me some guidance in addition to some pointers to some reading material on what is involved in doing what I have explained above. With best regards and thanks in anticipation. Sanjay. PS: LIH list does not send my own mail to me, though replies come to me. How do I change this behaviour? ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
