DNS server hostname.domain.com

Question

I have a BIND server setup on my Ubuntu box and it works great if I navigate to server.home.com I was wondering if there is a way to set it up so that I can just type home.com Thanks!

Answer 1

In your zone file on your server you probably have something like:

$ORIGIN home.com.

server      A     192.168.10.1

You can add another record like this:

@           A     192.168.10.1

This will make home.com resolve to 192.168.10.1.
