installed ispconfig v3.0.0.7 it's using mydns and I figured out that to use old style 'blank' host names I had to use: example.com. IN A 10.10.1.2 note the period at the end of the base domain name listed above. ispconfig's interface (and I suspect mydns) was refusing IN A 10.10.1.2 @ IN A 10.10.1.2 I even tried to escape "\" the "@" and the 'blank' which didn't work either. the 'blank' record was needed for 'NS', 'MX' records as well. now it correctly resolves for: http://example.com and dig @example.com example.com mx before I could only get it to resolve for added machine names, like: http://www.example.com
