A Host (A) record specifies an IP address for forward host-name-to-IP-address
mapping.
In
the shortcuts section of the ,
click Zones (DNS section).
In the Zone List
form, locate the zone you want to add a record to, and in the Actions
column, click
. The Host List form opens. It displays all
existing records for the zone.
In the Add: Record
area, click the arrow and choose Address (A) Record. The Add Address
(A) Record form opens.
In the Hostname.domain
field, enter the name of the host you want to map.
In the IP Address
field, enter the IP address to which the host will map.
To automatically
create a Reverse Address (PTR) record for the address to which the host
maps, select the Update Reverse Address Record check box.
If you do not want to create a Reverse Address record
now, you can manually add a Reverse Address (PTR) record for reverse lookup
later.
Important:
Before you add a Host Record with the PTR option, you must create the zone to which this record
points; otherwise, the reverse pointer record will not take affect.
