How to get started creating a DNS primary

     Here is how to get started using the tool.  The 
DNS Boss GUI has most likely already been started, 
but if not, start it up as super-user like this:

# /opt/DNSBoss/bin/dnsboss

After the GUI is up, change all of the TextFields to 
reflect the information about your DNS domain.  Make 
sure that you put in an email address in the 
following format:  someuser.company.com  (not 
someuser@company.com).  If you are not sure about a 
setting, try to follow the defaults.

     After you have put all of the information in the 
TextFields that you want, delete any of the mail 
exchanger, or DNS secondary fields you are not using.
You must have one mail exchanger, and it is a good 
idea to have at least one DNS secondary, but it is 
not required.
     
     After deleting any empty mail exchanger, or 
secondary fields, hit the "Save settings" button.  If
you made any errors, they should show up in the 
TextArea.  If you made an error, fix it, and hit 
"Save settings" again.

     After you have saved your settings, hit the 
"Edit hosts" button, and type in some hosts for your
domain.  The proper format for hosts in this file is 
the following:
216.45.70.45  somemachine    # This is right
Do NOT attempt to put fully qualified hosts in this 
file, that is WRONG:
216.45.70.45 somemachine.company.com # This is WRONG
After you have added a few hosts in the proper 
format, hit the Save button.

     After you have saved some hosts, hit the "Update 
this domain" button.  This should create the DNS 
databases for you, and restart your in.named process 
which allows your DNS data to get out to your 
secondary's, and the rest of the Internet.

     You may now hit the "Exit" button if your wish.  

     To get back to the domain you were modifying, 
just bring up the tool, and hit "Load DNS domain", 
and double click the domain that you wish to modify.
This machine must be the DNS primary for that 
domain.  At this point, you may "Edit hosts" again
if you wish.  After you are done, make sure that the
following is hit "Update this domain" so that 
changes will take effect and be seen by the rest of 
the Internet.
