qmail / tinydns
I was able to more or less compile from scratch and enable all the following, based on a handy guide I found:
Apache 1.3.latest stable
PHP 4.3.1
Mysql-max latest stable
qmail 1.03 w/ patches
tinydns
squirrelmail
openssl
mod_ssl
The setup here will be for an ecommerce site. I wanted to setup a secondary DNS on a nearby server, as well as a secondary MX to make sure I dont lose any mail in case my primary server dies.
A couple questions naturally follow:
1) I assume I simply mirror tinydns's config across the two servers, obviously setting one of them ns1 and the other ns2, correct?
2) For the qmail SECONDARY mx: How do I config qmail as a secondary MX? How does it "know" its a secondary? I realize that in the DNS config it will have lower priority MX value, and must be configured to accept mail for my domain. However, how do I configure it to hand over the mail its backing up to my main system?
Looking for some info on 1+2. I dont need handholding, just something to read
From what I can gather, no special config is needed for #2, but I wanted some affirmation.3) Any point in specially compiling openssl versus the preinstalled RPM version? I cant remove the RPM version without losing my ssh connection AFAIK.
BTW ANY info other than DJB's on configuring tinyDNS would be greatly appreciated!!!!
