DNS Bind
Hello,
I have a question about dns file zone.

Every zone file begins like:

Code:
@      86400    IN      SOA     ns1.website.com. admin@website.com. (

It means that name server ns1 is responsible for this zone.
At the ending I can add the records like
Code:
mysite.com	IN	A	1.2.3.4

So it will bind an IP address to my server's hostname.
But if I want to have only my own zone and dont have any ns responsible for it, should I write the hostname of server where I'm configuring bind?
Code:
@      86400    IN      SOA     mysite.com. admin@website.com. (

NAME

       ipa-dns-install - Add DNS as a service to an IPA server

SYNOPSIS

       ipa-dns-install [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       Adds DNS as an IPA-managed service. This requires that the IPA server is already installed and configured.

OPTIONS

       -p DM_PASSWORD, --ds-password=DM_PASSWORD
	      The password to be used by the Directory Server for the Directory Manager user

       -d, --debug
	      Enable debug logging when more verbose output is needed

       --ip-address=IP_ADDRESS
	      The IP address of the IPA server. If not provided then this is determined based on the hostname of the server.

       --forwarder=FORWARDER
	      A  forwarder  is a DNS server where queries for a specific non-resolvable address can be directed. To define multiple forwarders use
	      multiple instances of --forwarder

       --no-forwarders
	      Do not add any DNS forwarders, send non-resolvable addresses to the DNS root servers.

       --reverse-zone=REVERSE_ZONE
	      The reverse DNS zone to use

       --no-reverse
	      Do not create new reverse DNS zone. If used on a replica and a reverse DNS zone already exists for the subnet, it will be used.

       --zonemgr
	      The e-mail address of the DNS zone manager. Defaults to hostmaster@DOMAIN

       -U, --unattended
	      An unattended installation that will never prompt for user input

EXIT STATUS

       0 if the installation was successful

       1 if an error occurred
