Description of problem: The example zone file breaks RFCs: RFC2181 10.3, RFC1123 5.2.2 RFC compliant MTA won't accept CNAME records as MX records Your example is a poor one, and will continue to cost administrators lots of time!! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All that I can find!
hi Conor, it looks like this item was revised for RHEL5, but never for RHEL4. can you please take a look at "16.3.3. Example Zone File" at the link below and see if it works with your system? http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-bind-zone.html#s2-bind-zone-directives if it is, i'll update the RHEl4 docs as well. thanks!
have verified with internal SME; RHEL5 update now backported to old doc. reassigning to mhideo for staging into docs page of website (will let you know once i have the pdfs / htmls ready) thanks!
