Right mouse click on the domain, select Create New Record (NOT new =
host), select A Record from the list, leave the Host Name field blank, =
and enter the IP number. Repeat until done.

Subject: Microsoft DNS under NT4 question...

Greetings,

I have a rather simple question that has been driving me nuts. In unix
flavors of BIND, to set a machine to an A record reflecting the domain, =
you
use a null (blank) record. =20

Wow, that made no sense... ;) let me try to illustrate:

I want a machine, let's call it MACHINE1 to respond to DOMAIN.COM. Not
MACHINE1.DOMAIN.COM, but DOMAIN.COM. It's trivial in BIND, but doing so =
in
M$ DNS causes an error in the error log and generally spits up all over
itself. How the heck do you do it in M$ DNS?

TIA
