BIND - why duplicate nameserver entries (@ and *)?
- by user27465
I had to manually tweak my DNS service providers BIND file.
BIND file, created by professional hosting company, before:
$ORIGIN mycoolsite.com.
$TTL 300
@ SOA ns1.cheapreg.com. registry.cheapreg.com. ( ... )
@ IN 3600 NS ns1.cheapreg.com.
@ IN 3600 NS ns2.cheapreg.com.
@ IN 3600 A 199.9.99.85
@ IN 3600 A 199.9.99.86
* IN 3600 A 199.9.99.85
* IN 3600 A 199.9.99.86
www IN 3600 A 199.9.99.85
www IN 3600 A 199.9.99.86
BIND file, created by layman, after:
$ORIGIN mycoolsite.com.
$TTL 300
@ SOA ns1.cheapreg.com. registry.cheapreg.com. ( ... )
@ IN 3600 NS ns1.cheapreg.com.
@ IN 3600 NS ns2.cheapreg.com.
* IN 3600 A 219.94.116.50
* IN 3600 A 219.94.116.51
* IN 3600 A 219.94.116.52
The difference is that the "pro"-file has duplicated the nameserver entries, once for @, and once for *,
and I haven't.
Any reason I should also duplicate nameserver entries (@ and *) ?
