Here's what I would add to a BIND9 domain file:


git CNAME coreander.jones.dk.



(really I would add a SPF hint too, but that is unrelated to to this)

The git hostname need no changes to the setup of DNS servers, but...

Currently you have only a single DNS server (or you have 2 but fake it 
by provising same IP for both). That is BAD! It makes your whole domain 
dependent on a single point of failure.

You are welcome to use my nameservers for backup. You then need 
something like the following in your main BIND9 config file:

acl jones_slaves {
	80.166.109.186;	// ns.superserver.dk
	80.68.88.141;	// ns.bitbase.dk
	87.57.161.214;	// ns.homebase.dk
	213.237.80.158;	// ns.107b.dk
	87.59.24.138;	// dns.jones.dk
	80.166.109.186;	// ns.dgi-huset.dk
}


And append above ACL to your existing config, so it looks something like 
this:

zone "cinepaint.org" { type master; file "somewhere/cinepaint.org" allow-transfer { jones_slaves; }; };


And add all hostnames mentioned in the ACL above as NS records to your 
domain file.



...any or all of the above might be different, depending on the way 
you've structured your configurations or (obviously) if you use some 
other nameserver than ISC BIND 9.x.

ok.
