Perhaps because a root zone is like any other zone. It has a SOA record and NS records at the apex and other records. . 3600 SOA server.example.net. hostmaster.example.net. 1 3600 1200 2419200 3600 . 3600 NS server.example.net. . 3600 NS another.example.net. server.example.net. 3600 A 1.2.3.4 another.example.net. 3600 A 1.2.3.5 > It's for a school project. > > Regards, Peter > > > On 12/03/14 19:56, Kevin Darcy wrote: > > First of all, don't use .loc as an internal TLD.
