[Wylug-help] DNS hostname query

[Imran Javeed]

Good morning all

Just a quickie which I should know but don't.

I'm in the process of setting up a dns server,when I stumbled across this issue in regard to the hostname of the machine.

If the hostname is server1 and the domain which it is an autoritive primary dns server is abc.com

What hostname do you assign the machine,

Is it just server1 with reference in hosts to server1.abc.com

Is it server1.abc.com in hosts file

Do you need to place the domain directive in /etc/resolv.conf and just leave the hostname as it is "server1" in hosts

Please could someone advise?

Regards

Imran
