II. DNS changes necessary when adding/deleting node
B. Use the selected unique IP hostname and IP address of the node to the DNS database files.
1. Log onto motcig with the login ID
2. Change to the subdirectory containing the DNS database files for the forward domain by issuing the command cd /var/spool/named/primary
3. Edit the rev.domain file for the relevant reverse domain.
4.Change the serial value in the SOA record. The serial value is in yyyymmddhhh format ( year month day hour).
5.YOU MUST INCREMENT THE SERIAL NUMBER, OR THE NEW
DATA WILL NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO THE SECONDARY NAMESERVERS.
6. For adding PTR RR, put 11 PTR ipname.cig.mot.com.
7. For deleting PTR RR, put ;11 PTR .cig.mot.com.
7. Save the file and exit.
8. The trailing period after ipname.cig.mot.com. It is intentional and VERY IMPORTANT. Do not omit the trailing period from this entry. Otherwise DNS
will automatically append the current origin of the database file to this name,
such as ipname.cig.mot.com.cig.mot.com.
