We're moving an app from a server in our domain to a server hosted by the vendor in their domain.
This app had it's own domain setup that we're authoritative for.
Do I need to create a new zone file? zone-vendor_com and set up the CNAME records in this file? Or if I can just edit the one I have?
I've set this up before by creating a new zone file and adding the CNAME records but we were authoritative for all the domains involved. This time we're not authoritative for all the domains. So I'm not sure if I need another zone file or if I can edit the one I have already.
I did do a search in the forum first and I did find some threads about pointing CNAMES to external domains, and they did say to create a new zone file. But I didn't find one that made mention about the authoritative thing. Apologies for being so thick about it.
Below is the vendors note on what DNS changes need to made:
NOTE: Vendor also provides an xxx_com domain name for your business (domain_xxx_com) but we recommend you keep your existing hostname and alter your DNS entry to point to the new domain name. We strongly recommend you CNAME alias www_mydomain_org and mydomain_org to vendor_domain_xxx_com_ And *_www_mydomain_org and *_mydomain_org to *_vendor_domain_xxx_com rather than pointing your DNS to the new IP address.
Existing zone file I've edited. If I can use this file should I delete the lines that setup the A records? ---------- Post updated 09-11-14 at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous update was 09-10-14 at 06:36 PM ----------

host
host(1M) System Administration Commands host(1M)NAME
host - DNS lookup utility
SYNOPSIS
host [-aCdlnrTvw] [-c class] [-N ndots] [-R number] [-t type] [-W wait] name [server]
DESCRIPTION
The host utility performs simple DNS lookups. It is normally used to convert names to IP addresses and IP addresses to names. When no argu-
ments or options are given, host prints a short summary of its command line arguments and options.
The name argument is the domain name that is to be looked up. It can also be a dotted-decimal IPv4 address or a colon-delimited IPv6
address, in which case host by default performs a reverse lookup for that address. The optional server argument is either the name or IP
address of the name server that host should query instead of the server or servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a Equivalent to setting the -v option and asking host to make a query of type ANY.
-c class Make a DNS query of class class. This can be used to lookup Hesiod or Chaosnet class resource records. The default class is
IN (Internet).
-C Attempt to display the SOA records for zone name from all the listed authoritative name servers for that zone. The list of
name servers is defined by the NS records that are found for the zone.
-d Generate verbose output. This option is equivalent to -v. These two options are provided for backward compatibility. In
previous versions, the -d option switched on debugging traces and -v enabled verbose output.
-l List mode. This option makes host perform a zone transfer for zone name. The argument is provided for compatibility with
previous implementations. This option is equivalent to making a query of type AXFR.
-n Specify that reverse lookups of IPv6 addresses should use the IP6.INT domain and "nibble" labels as defined in RFC1886. The
default is to use IP6.ARPA and binary labels as defined in RFC2874.
-N ndots Set the number of dots that have to be in name for it to be considered absolute. The default value is that defined using
the ndots statement in /etc/resolv.conf, or 1 if no ndots statement is present. Names with fewer dots are interpreted as
relative names and will be searched for in the domains listed in the search or domain directive in /etc/resolv.conf.
-r Make a non-recursive query. Setting this option clears the RD (recursion desired) bit in the query made by host. The name
server receiving the query does not attempt to resolve name. The -r option enables host to mimic the behaviour of a name
server by making non-recursive queries and expecting to receive answers to those queries that are usually referrals to
other name servers.
-R number Change the number of UDP retries for a lookup. The number argument indicates how many times host will repeat a query that
does not get answered. The default number of retries is 1. If number is negative or zero, the number of retries will
default to 1.
-t type Select the query type. The type argument can be any recognised query type: CNAME, NS, SOA, SIG, KEY, and AXFR, among oth-
ers. When no query type is specified, host automatically selects an appropriate query type. By default it looks for A
records, but if the -C option is specified, queries are made for SOA records. If name is a dotted-decimal IPv4 address or
colon-delimited IPv6 address, host queries for PTR records.
-T Use a TCP connection when querying the name server. TCP is automatically selected for queries that require it, such as zone
transfer (AXFR) requests. By default host uses UDP when making queries.
-v Generate verbose output. This option is equivalent to -d.
-w Wait forever for a reply. The time to wait for a response will be set to the number of seconds given by the hardware's max-
imum value for an integer quantity.
-W wait Wait for wait seconds for a reply. If wait is less than one, the wait interval is set to one second.
