Chapter 3. Using Open Directory > Preparing DNS Records (Optional)
Preparing DNS Records (Optional)
Skip this section if you already have the appropriate DNS records available in your environment.
Open Directory services rely on forward and reverse DNS records for the computers hosting Open Directory services. You can use the exercises in this section to have your Lion server provide a common set of DNS records for the servers you will use to complete the exercises in this chapter.
In this section you will prepare a DNS zone, create appropriate DNS records, and configure your OS X computer to use this newly updated DNS service so you can get on with the task of configuring Open Directory services.
If you configure your OS X computer to use the DNS service hosted by your OS X server, you may experience delays with Server Admin, because there are not yet DNS records for your OS X computer.
