Hi all,
I am new to 44net and I haven't found much about DNS. I have the following questions:
1. In order to get traffic routed through the 44 gateway, does a forward or reverse DNS entry need to exist? Does it need to satisfy certain format/conditions? (from a technical standpoint, existance of reverse would make sense as it's done in SMTP servers, but I don't know how this information is queried by the gateway).
2. I run my own bind (also accessible over 44net). I'd love to handle my DNS entries on my own (not least because every request on the portal can take well over a year to be answered, at least for me). Is it possible to request classless in-add.arpa delegation (RFC2317) for my subnet?
3. If the ampr.org domain is used, are there any requirements on the format/hierarchy? Can it be a subdomain <myname>.ampr.org? Or does it need to be <callsign>.ampr.org? Can all entries and hierarchy under this subdomain be freely chosen?
4. Is there any way in the portal to keep track of DNS related requests/messages as it is for subnets? I am not sure any more if, when, what and who I have asked about DNS and I want to avoid sending the request again if it's still "pending".
Thanks, Nick
