| I'm also welcome for criticisms, if theres
| anything wrong with my setup. If anybody notice anything
| out of place let me know! Here is how I set up my own local
| dns service:
[...]
|
| IN NS ns.xxx.dyndns.org.
| IN MX 10 mail.xxx.dyndns.org.
[...]
| ns IN CNAME xxx.dyndns.org.
| mail IN CNAME xxx.dyndns.org.
both the NS and MX lines above have CNAMEs on the right side,
while this will _usually_ work ok (and since you are the only one that
will ever see this, it doesn't really matter), it is a violation of
RFC 1034 and RFC 974. it won't work in all nameservers, and will
cause additional work and traffic (in general, it will require 2 queries
instead of 1) on those that don't break.
instead say:
ns A 192.168.1.2
mail A 192.168.1.2
