GraniteCanyon.com RR Edit (DNS)

Posted:
in Genius Bar edited January 2014
I'm trying to get set up with granitecanyon.com to act as my DNS, and I've hit a step that I'm horribly confused, and am hoping somebody can help with.



I'm trying to figure it out, but I can't figure a lot of it out. I guess I don't need a lot of this stuff, but I'm not quite sure. I'm curious, is there a way to have it use port :2222 so I don't have to put it on the end in the URL? My ISP blocks port 80.



I'm just trying to get a better DNS so that I can have swigg.net point to my IP address, I'm using 1and1.com, but it's been a week, and not all of my friends can access it, and I believe it's a DNS issue.



The example of the RR (whatever that is) they provide on their site is...

Quote:

coffee.com. IN NS ns1.granitecanyon.com.

coffee.com. IN NS ns2.granitecanyon.com.



; multiple RP records authorize others to submit zone changes

; from the email address in the first field after the RP

; This email address is in DNS-email format. That is,

; the '@' (at-sign) is replaced by '.' (dot or period.)



coffee.com. IN RP juan.tea.com. Juan.Valdez.coffee.com.

coffee.com. IN RP juanita.tea.com. Juanita.Valdez.coffee.com.



Juan.Valdez.coffee.com. IN TXT "Juan Valdez, NIC handle: JUAN123"

Juanita.Valdez.coffee.com. IN TXT "Juanita Valdez, RIPE NIC handle: JUANITA"



; addresses for the canonical names

; Many emailers expect the name localhost to exist

; in a domain with this specific, reserved address.

; 127/8 or 127/255.0.0.0 is the address of LOOPBACK-NET

; 127.0.0.1 is reserved to mean this host on the LOOPBACK-NET

localhost.coffee.com. IN A 127.0.0.1



; The IP addresses below are reserved for networks

; not connected to the InterNet. They are not routable by

; most publicly accessible backbones and are here as an

; example only.



navy.coffee.com. IN A 192.168.0.3



; some useful puns that cannot be CNAMEs because

; they are referenced by MX records, below



mail1.coffee.com. IN A 192.168.0.1

mail2.coffee.com. IN A 192.168.0.2



; an address for the zone itself



coffee.com. IN A 192.168.0.4



; Aliases

; These create a nickname or alias for another name known

; to the DNS, the canonical name, hence CNAME. No other

; records may exist with a name the same as this alias.



; 'Java' is an alias for the canonical name, 'Navy.'

java.coffee.com. IN CNAME navy.coffee.com.



frenchroast.coffee.com. IN CNAME mail1.coffee.com.

hazelnut.coffee.com. IN CNAME mail2.coffee.com.



; MX records



; These direct mail delivery agents, like sendmail,

; at hosts which have agreed to accept email for us.



; This assumes that we've arranged with tea.com and

; uu.net to provide this email service for us in

; advance for coffee.com.



; The token 'EXTREF' directs nslint to allow external references.

; The token 'GLOBALOK' directs nslint to allow global records.



; MX records for a host to be treated specially

navy.coffee.com. IN MX 10 mail1.tea.com. ; EXTREF

navy.coffee.com. IN MX 20 mail2.tea.com. ; EXTREF

navy.coffee.com. IN MX 100 mail.uu.net. ; EXTREF



; global MX records for unspecified members of the zone

*.coffee.com. IN MX 10 mail1.coffee.com. ; GLOBALOK

*.coffee.com. IN MX 20 mail2.coffee.com. ; GLOBALOK

*.coffee.com. IN MX 100 mail.uu.net. ; EXTREF GLOBALOK



; MX records for email addressed to the zone itself

coffee.com. IN MX 10 mail1.coffee.com.

coffee.com. IN MX 20 mail2.coffee.com.

coffee.com. IN MX 100 mail.uu.net. ; EXTREF

    I've got similar problems with my ISP blocking port 80. I used bindery to generate my internal DNS records, maybe that can help you.

    I'm also using dyndns.org, along with DNSUpdate and it's proving to be a real champ. I do, however, still have to specify a port number when I give out my URL.
