  Domain Name Server(DNS) Configurator
  Introduction


  An IP network works with numbers. Each machine has a unique 4 parts
  number. It is easier to work with names than with numbers.  Further,
  it is easier to work with name if they are organized in groups, and
  potentially those groups subdivided in sub-groups.  A group is called
  a domain. A machine acting as a translator from names to IP numbers is
  called a DNS. It is a server which either knows how to translate a
  machine name to its IP number or knows how to ask other DNSs if it
  can't do it itself.

  1.  tasks



     Domains

     o  Defining the domains managed by this DNS.

     Reverse mapping

     o  Setting up a pseudo-domain used to convert an IP number to a
        name.

     Secondaries

     o  Instruct the DNS to act as a backup of specific domains.

     Forwarders

     o  Instruct the DNS to use another DNS for other domain resolution.
        Useful if a DNS is behind a firewall.

     Add/Edit host information by domain

     o  Let you pick a domain and then select one of its host or add a
        new one.

     Add/Edit (quit edit)

     o  Add information about a single host or sub-domain.  (Same as
        above except you can enter a fully qualified name and
        access/edit its related information without selecting a domain
        first).
