Dear 44net,
First of all, hello to everybody on the list, I've just subscribed.
We're currently building the hamnet network in Hungary, now we have some
working links, tunnels and hosts which I've already added to the hamnetdb.
I saw that some host names can be resolved using "regular" internet DNS
servers, like router.db0ajw.ampr.org can be resolved to 44.225.36.129 using
Google's 8.8.8.8 DNS server.
My question is that how can this be accomplished? If we have a DNS server
which can resolve our hosts to IPs and backwards, can one of the AMPR DNS
servers be set up to transfer our zones?
I saw that the portal has a DNS section but it's not live yet.
Thanks for the help and 73s de HA2NON
Do you have a reason to use a subdomain .hu.ampr.org instead of putting the Hungarian
callsigns directly under .ampr.org as almost everyone else is doing?
You can easily submit your DNS records to the ampr.org DNS service.
This is accomplished using a mail robot where you can mail your zone changes and that
will put them in the flat .ampr.org zone.
You can also arrange that NS records for hu.ampr.org are put in the ampr.org DNS.
Then all requests for callsign.hu.ampr.org will be referred to your servers. Of course
your
servers have to be available both on amprnet and on internet.
This is now done by Germany, Spain and Sweden.
(but I do not see a compelling reason to do that)
