Creating forward lookup zone files

Note: Make sure that you have the domain name and IP address of your DNS server.
  1. From the command prompt, navigate to the BIND installation folder. For example, cd C:\dns.
  2. Switch to the etc directory. For example, cd etc.
  3. Type start notepad db.domain , where domain is the domain name of your server, and then press Enter.
  4. When prompted to create a file, click Yes.
  5. In the new zone file, add the following in bold: 
    $TTL 3600
@ IN SOA lpm-airprint.domain.com. unused-email (1 10800 3600 604800 60)

    Where:

    • lpm‑airprint.domain.com is the fully qualified domain name of your server.

    • 192.168.1.10 is the IP address of your server.

    • lpm‑airprint is the host name of your server.

    Note: The key and value pairs are listed in the DNS Record window on the configuration portal of your server (http:// serverIPaddress :9780/lpm/config). Make sure that the extra parenthesis for the product= key and value pairs are removed.
  6. Save the file.
