DNS Best Practices

DNS Testing Tool

Useful tool for testing DNS configuration: Wiki Markup{link:www.dnsreport.com|http: //www.dnsreport.com/}{link}

1. MX - Change MX records from CNAME's to A records. This is supposed to improve lookup speed and MX pointing to CNAME's is an RFC violation.
2. SOA - Change SOA values to come in line with recommended values, per dnsreports.com.
3. PTR - Add PTR records for server1.example.com. This is to address an error being generated by AOL and Hotmail, which use reverse lookups on mail servers to weed out spam. Mail on the example.com mailing lists has increasingly been bounced by AOL and Hotmail as spam and header inspection points to lack of PTR record. Setting PTR records at the hosting provider is a relatively new feature, probably added to address this problem.
