Need help for Server Templates

Hey Mathieu,

Any valid BIND DNS record can be added to or can replace the Virtualmin generated ones. The defaults look soemthing like this:

<i>
$ttl 38400
@ IN SOA www.virtualmin.com. root.www.virtualmin.com. (
1119502166
10800
3600
604800
38400 )
virtualmin.com. IN A 70.86.4.238
www.virtualmin.com. IN A 70.86.4.238
ftp IN A 70.86.4.226
mail IN A 70.86.4.226
@ IN MX 5 mail
ns0.virtualmin.com. IN A 70.86.4.226
ns1.virtualmin.com. IN A 69.93.73.170
virtualmin.com. IN NS ns0
virtualmin.com. IN NS ns1
virtualmin.com. IN TXT &quot;v=spf1 a mx ?all&quot;
</i>

So, you could add another nameserver like so:

<i>
${DOM} IN NS ns0.mydomain.tld
</i>

Where ${DOM} is a variable that gets substituted during domain creation--there are several variables you can use in many places throughout server templates. They are documented here:

http://www.virtualmin.com/support/documentation/virtualmin-admin-guide/c...

The only thing about this field that is unique to Virtualmin is the variable substitution. Everything else is just standard BIND record syntax, and any documentation you find for your version of BIND will be useful. If you have complex needs, there is no better book than the O'Reilly book named &quot;DNS and BIND&quot; by Cricket Liu and Paul Albitz. It's probably the finest tech book I've ever read, and I've read a lot of tech books (and written one). ;-)

And, of course, you have the collected wisdom of all 2500 or so users here at Virtualmin.com (or, at least, the couple hundred or so that regularly read the forums). Ask about any specific questions you have and we'll probably be able to guide you.
