bump....same question
Here's an example of what I have used with perfect success:
[code:1]
${DOM}. IN SOA ns9.mydomain.net. hostmaster.mydomain.net. (
2005123101
10800
3600
604800
38400 )
[/code:1]
Paste this into the template and host away!

<div class='quote'>Hi,
I want to set completely custom dns records for my zones.
I go to Templates > BIND DNS domain and add smth like
${DOM}. IN NS ns1.${DOM}.
${DOM}. IN NS ns2.${DOM}.
*.${DOM}. IN A ${IP}
ns1.${DOM}. IN A ${IP}
ns2.${DOM}. IN A ${IP}
and so on
I then check "Use only the records above" and then I get an error about the SOA entry which is indeed missing. My problem is: what should I write for the serial number? Current YYYYMMDDnn?
I see virtualmin uses UNIX-timestamp syntax for serial, If i put current unix time is it ok?<br><br>Post edited by: Lucian, at: 2007/07/31 13:43</div>
The simple answer is you can put anything you want. (Basically), although the YYYYMMDDnn format is certainly the RFP standard.
My totally custom template uses 2005123104 as the value, and I have no problem passing the DNSstuff.com tests with flying colors.
It's really a pretty arbitrary number. Windows AD DNS servers start this value at 1, just as an example...
Hope this helps!
Replace ns9.mydomain.net with your primary nameserver
replace hostmaster.mydomain.net with your domain hostmaster email (pretend the . after hostmaster is an @ sign)
so will the 2005123101 timestamp get automatically updated by virtualmin?
