The Quick Domain function automatically creates a new zone and the most common DNS records associated with it.
The zone and records created can be modified using the Zone Properties and Record Properties dialogs, and you can always add or remove records later.
Replace "yourname.com" in the following with your own domain name:
Domain Name
Enter your domain name (without the "www.").
Web server IP (optional)
Enter the IP address of the web server for this domain.
The wizard creates an A-record for "yourname.com" with this IP address, and a CNAME-record for "www.yourname.com" pointing to "yourname.com".
This allows visitors to access your web-site through both "www.yourname.com" and just "yourname.com".
Mail server IP (optional)
Enter the IP address of the e-mail server for this domain.
The wizard creates an MX-record for "yourname.com" pointing to "mail.yourname.com", and an A-record for "mail.yourname.com" with this IP address.
FTP server IP (optional)
Enter the IP address of the FTP server for this domain.
The wizard creates an A-record for "ftp.yourname.com" with this IP address.
Secondary DNS server (optional)
Enter the name and IP address of the secondary DNS server for the domain.
This secondary DNS server will be notified of changes and allowed to perform Zone Transfers on this domain/zone.
The wizard creates an NS-record for "yourname.com" and, if the secondary DNS server name is part of this domain name, also a matching A-record.
The wizard also automatically creates an NS-record for the primary DNS server (this server) and a SOA-record based on the server name and administrator's e-mail address specified in the Options dialog.
Clicking the "Use as Default" button will make the current values automatically appear the next time you use the Quick Domain Wizard.
