Server DNS Entry
There are several options for Domain Name Services. Some of which are cost free others with small configuration charges.
1. Your server has DNS installed, but by default it may disabled. Once you enable this you can begin to configure DNS. [Hosting Company] will act as slave to your DNS at your request for no charge, please provide us with the domain name and access to be allowed transfers from your server.
2. If you prefer for [Hosting Company] to act as both slave and master DNS server there is a $20 per domain setup fee and we will handle all of your DNS, please provide us with the domain name, mail server name and IP address and any other hosts and IP addresses you wish to be available.
3. [Hosting Company] can also configure DNS on your server, and add our server as slave. There is a $25 per domain setup fee for this option; however this would allow you to maintain control of your DNS server, and make immediate changes that would automatically replicate to the slave. Please provide access to your server as well as the domain names and hosts you would like configured.
I'm wondering if they're really not going to delegate the two IP's to me and are just talking about A records and not PTR records. I'll have to query them and see what the next step is. I have the A record side ready to go. It's the PTR's that need to work properly for e-mail to be accepted by AOL, Inbox.com, Comcast.Net, and others that are refusing due to a failed reverse lookup.
