Host Record

The Host Record is the record that actually specifies the TCP/IP address for a specified host. All hosts that have static TCP/IP addresses should have an entry in this database. Clients with dynamic addresses are resolved in other ways, such as through a WINS server. Most of the entries in a database file are host records. The syntax of this record follows:

<host name> IN A <ip address of host>

An example of some host records follows:

arthur IN A 136.104.3.92
thomas IN A 136.104.4.85
kathleen IN A 136.104.1.38

In this example, three servers called “arthur,” “thomas,” and “kathleen” are registered with their corresponding IP addresses.

Figure 12.9 shows the dialog box used in DNS Manager to add a host record. Note that you can also create the corresponding PTR record at the same time. PTR or pointer records are used for reverse lookups, which are described later in this chapter.
