<p>Dear All,</p>
<p>I need to clerify from you experts on the below mis
interpretation in my mind about dns server and hostname.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Lets take for example i have a domain example.com and i have
pointed the domain to a host called host1.example.com and
host2.example.com as its dns servers,</p>
<p>My point is:-</p>
<p>On the Hosts host1 and host2 dns zones configuration for
example.com, do we create zones for host1.example.com and
host2.example.com first then zone for example.com or!!!!</p>
<p>Which is the best practice here</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>See example below if its correct for forward zone file.</p>
