Hi All
I host a number of domains on a Centos 7 VPS. Now I am setting up a VPS with only one domain hosted. I am trying to get my head around issues with naming especially regarding RDNS and a mail server. Should I name the server host.domain.com or just domain.com?
Cheers
Nic

The domain should then be pointed a one particular host for the website.
Website should be domain.com resolves to host.domain.com For mail you would point the MX records at a hostname, this hostname should have a RDNS records that matches the MX record. ie mail.domain.com -> 10.10.10.10 r-> mail.domain.com. note if you do not have control of the rdns but the domain does have a record which resolves forward and reverse you can use this in the MX record. An example of this is my home static address ppp???-??.static.internode.on.net -> 203.???.???.57 r-> ppp224-57.static.internode.on.net So in this case you could use ppp???-??.static.internode.on.net for the MX record. If you more something explained in more detail just say. Cheers Mike
