DNS Zone Newbie help!!

[tic67]

My first day as a CPanel person and I am looking for advice.

Is there a master dns template that I use to generate the correct dns entries for any accounts that are created?.

When I looked in edit/create accounts I saw:

localhost
mail
ns1.mydomain.com
ns2.mydomain.com

Do I need ns1, ns2 and mail to have their separate zones or would they go in a master?.

Any examples would be gratefully received

Thx

John

DNS entries are created when an account is created. If you're not sure about DNS or working with WHM, then you're best bet is to watch & learn as you setup accounts (and have a knowledgable person standing by would be good) or do some book reading.

This is basic ServerAdmin stuff and one either does an &earn & learn& or knows what they are doing before-hand.

yeah or maybe ask a question and get a valid response

Not sure why you would resurrect a thread more than 2 years old but just for the record, zone templates are located at /var/cpanel/zonetemplates/.

thanks for the reply, I was searching through stuff and felt like venting about vague answers, thinking outloud. I have a server that will park domains with WHM but not with CPANEL. Straightened out some DNS issues, but still something up, end of my rope at this point.
