New direct-only domain (Recommended)
Updox can manage all DNS settings (MX and CERT DNS records) for the entire domain, if it's only going to be used for direct messaging. Simply set the name servers for the domain to:
- NS1.DNSDIRECTDNS.COM
- NS2.DNSDIRECTDNS.COM
- NS3.DNSDIRECTDNS.COM
- NS4.DNSDIRECTDNS.COM
How do I know I've configured things correctly?
If the domain you've configured is yourdomaindirect.com then performing the following *nix command should yield the listed results:
>dig yourdomaindirect.com A +trace some headers a list of root-servers a list of gtld-servers yourdomaindirect.com. 172800 IN NS ns1.dnsdirectdns.com. yourdomaindirect.com. 172800 IN NS ns2.dnsdirectdns.com. yourdomaindirect.com. 172800 IN NS ns3.dnsdirectdns.com. yourdomaindirect.com. 172800 IN NS ns4.dnsdirectdns.com.
and yourdomaindirect.com should resolve to 74.219.154.215.
