DNS tutorial / help

[tank]

Are their any good DNS tutorials out their. It seems that I can never get a complete picture of DNS entries. Can someone please list out all of the DNS entries a default cpanel server should have to work correctly along with other ideas or ways to achieve the same results. I thought I understood DNS but frankly I think my DNS zone is a disaster. After looking at it I am positive it is a disaster. Any help would be great it seems I have read tons of info but nothing definitive for me to understand.

Plus it seems that a customer can't receive emails that are sent by the server but I have not faced this problem yet. Starting with my stuff first.

My server name is qualityhost1
Server ip 69.65.29.27
My site is on a dedicated IP 69.65.29.28
Two name servers that are shared IP address
NS1 69.65.29.24
NS2 69.65.29.26

Hello

You can view the standard DNS zone templates via:

"WHM >> DNS Functions >> Edit Zone Templates"

If you want to reset a DNS Zone to the default template, you can use:

"WHM >> DNS Functions >> Reset a DNS Zone"

Thank you.

Ok so thats good to know how to reset the DNS zone. However that does not address a concern of mine. I like to learn from my mistakes. Honestly if i redid the DNS zone I am not sure what is considered a good practice. So I was hoping experts could lay out things like mail zones. Or what is the minimum for a name server, how should the left colum be organized. The types of records and how to use those records for web hosting / cpanel. Maybe this is something the world does not want to share and people must learn by their own mistakes. I was hoping to avoid that.LOL please help would be appreciated.

it seems that i cannot find any great examples

You are likely to have better luck using a search engine to look for in-depth documentation on DNS Zones. I did one search for "Bind DNS Zones explained" on Google and there were several useful results that included the examples you are seeking.

Thank you.
