DNS Settings

[dreddic]

I am having trouble getting my domains to display in the web browser. I currently have my domain pointing to the 2 name servers that I set up on my plesk server. I have the dns record set for the primary domain for the server account. I was wondering if this is how I should set up the dns record for each additional domain in order for the browser to display the websites correctly.

<domain> NS ns1.mynameserver.com
<domain> NS ns2.mynameserver.com
<domain> A <ip>
webmail.<domain> A <ip>
ftp.<domain> A <domain>
mail.<domain> A <domain>
<domain>. MX 10 mail. <domain>.
<ip>/24 PTR <domain>

here is how i have now my dns templates, they work flawlessly you should try them

A <domain>. <ip>
A webmail.<domain>. <ip>
MX <domain>. mail.<domain>.
A mail.<domain>. <ip>
A ftp.<domain>. <ip>
NS <domain>. ns1.yournameserver.com.
NS <domain>. ns2.yournameserver.com.
PTR <ip> <domain>.
TXT <domain>. "v=spf1 a mx ptr"

best regards,

is this under the domain or under the server settings?

Can you explain what these two records do in your DNS template?

PTR <ip> <domain>.
TXT <domain>. "v=spf1 a mx ptr"

Why use this instead of <ip> / 24? Here's what I have for mine:

<domain>. A <ip>
<domain>. MX (10) mail.<domain>.
<domain>. NS ns1.landeserve.com.
<domain>. NS ns2.landeserve.com.
<ip> / 24 PTR <domain>.
ftp.<domain>. CNAME <domain>.
mail.<domain>. A <ip>
webmail.<domain>. A <ip>

Also, what's the difference between the different MX records?
