The mailserver is currently called fred, while the primary MX record points to mailhost.example.org.
What must be done to direct example.org email towards fred?
A. Add an A record for mailhost to fred's IP address.
B. Add a CNAME record from mailhost to fred
C. Add another MX record pointing to fred's IP address.
D. Add a PTR record from mailhost to fred.
題解
若「fred」的IP為「216.158.76.21」,要達到題目描述的設定,DNS設定的方式應如下:
HOST ADDRESS TYPE mailhost 216.158.76.21 A #這是題目問的應該要增加的A記錄,讓「mailhost.example.org」對應到「216.158.76.21」這個IP位址,也就是「fred」。 @ mailhost.example.org MX #主機名稱「@」表示所有寄到「example.org」的信都會傳給「mailhost.example.org」。如果是使用「*」則表示所有寄到「*.example.org」的信都會傳給「mailhost.example.org」。
所以答案是選項A。
