Re: [44net] DNS entries

Thanks. And yes, I think Chris is building a really fine system and I'm very appreciative (as I'm sure everyone is) of his fine work.

A mail bot receives commands from the coordinators to add/delete the DNS entries. I can't speak for the other coordinators but what I do is receive the portal request, coordinate the address assignment and approve the request. If enough information exists to assign the DNS name I will manually enter that into an email to the DNS bot. I don't know how to handle more complex DNS requests through the portal. For example if you have a primary n6mef.ampr.org it's simple enough to handle as part of the process. But if you need an MX entry then you would have to request it via notes in the portal forms or in direct emails with the coordinators. At present there are no fields for domain name requests in the IP request but I assume Chris is working on that and it will become available when the DNS section goes live. Duh! - As I type this I see he's created a DNS form so you can request DNS registrations for all the classes and the requests should end up with your coordinator for approval but I submitted one to myself but it hasn't showed up in my coordinator side yet. Chris can outline how it is supposed to work. So far the system is coming along nicely. It confused be a bit at first and I've made my share of mistakes but I think as Chris refines the system it will be a very nice tool indeed. _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net http://www.ampr.org/donate.html
