-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi List, first of all the 'normal' lauder words about the great tool. I knew Webmin from the past 10 years while my first steps in the linux world. It has grown a bit, doesn't it? ;) Nevertheless I have to ask a short question. Versions: * Webmin 1.420 * VirtualMin (GPL) 3.59 * Debian 4.0 * BIND 9.3.4-P1.1 All is running fine so far - I just want to know where Webmin/VirtualMin gets the DNS Record templates from. If I create a new virtual server with VirtualMin, I got a zonefile like this: ############ ttl 38400 @ IN SOA admin.DOMAIN.com. root.some.example.stuff. ( ~ 1215803075 ~ 10800 ~ 3600 ~ 604800 ~ 38400 ) @ IN NS some.dns.stuff. DOMAIN. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx www.DOMAIN. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx ftp.DOMAIN. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx m.DOMAIN. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx localhost.DOMAIN. IN A 127.0.0.1 mail.DOMAIN. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx DOMAIN. IN MX 5 mail.DOMAIN. ############ Now I have to tune them a little bit. Therefore I want to know where I can look for the "defaults" like mentionend in the Virtualmin Default Template > Bind DNS Domains > Checkbox "Add above to automatically generated records". Where are those automatically records? First: I don't want some records like "m.$DOM" oder "ftp.$DOM". Second: I want a record for mail.$DOM IN A [fixed IP] instead of the virtual IP of the server. I just tested with a full customized DNS Template without the above "Add above to automatic records...", in that way I have to insert all neccessary informations like SOA and so on... but I am not sure if that should be the right way while using webmin. Any thoughts would be great.

You can completely control the DNS records that Virtualmin creates - just go to System Settings -> Server Templates -> Default settings -> BIND DNS Domain. By default they are fully automatically generated based on the virtual server's features, but you can select to enter your own records instead on that page, which will be used for all new virtual servers. - Jamie |

That was the way I went at the last weekend. I was just wondering where the defaults come from if the standard default template tell's me that it is using a default too... I guess, since it works so far we can close this topic. Bye, Hendrik |
