( 2021050301 ; serial number 16384 ; ns refresh 2048 ; ns retry 1048576 ; authority expiry 2560 ); min (RFC2308 §4) IN NS ws.linuxlighthouse.com. IN NS ns3.attdns.com. ; IN MX linuxlighthouse.com. IN A 108.220.213.121 ws IN A 108.220.213.121 www IN A 108.220.213.121 I have no idea about CAA lines, so I won't comment on where they're supposed to go. Origin before TTL, it's the first thing in the record. The word means exactly what it says. For what it's worth, it was often omitted from typed-in records, and the server would presume it was there where it's supposed to be. Your Start of Authority (SOA) record lists your name server, then the contact address for your domain (root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, with the @ sign represented by the first dot, as you already typed it). If you're not actually doing a mail service for your domain name, it *ought* to be the real contact address. The "IN A" record that starts with a blank space goes *above* all your subdomains. All those records starting with blank spaces (NS, MX, first A) are base definitions for your entire domain - it's nameserver(s), mail servers, and the IP for the domain name (that's the domain name without any prefixes: linuxlighthouse.com). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.25.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 28 21:49:45 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
