Changes

In this course you'll get to experience something like a real domain registration process with some limitations: * You'll get full control over a subdomain of ops345.ca (e.g. asmith15.ops345.ca), rather than a second-level domain (like asmith15.ca).* You can only create A, MX, CNAME, and TXT records.* You have no control over the TTL. But you get to do this for free. You should have received an email about a '''[http://ops345.ca/ Bindistrar ]''' account that's been created for you. The email will include your username and a random password. Please keep the password secret. You cannot change it. I can change it for you but I'd really rather not. After you log in: Bindistrar will allow you to create public DNS records for yourusername.ops345.ca  * set Set up an A record for yourmysenecaidyourusername.ops345.ca to point to your elastic IP (the one assigned to router).* set Set up a CNAME record for www, so that it points to yourusername.ops345.ca{{Admon/important|Mind the dots|Technically every FQDN ends with a dot, it's just normally hidden from the users. Try it in a web brwoser, using ping, etc. When you're configuring DNS records: pay attention whether your host/value has a trailing dot or not. If you're missing the trailing dot: your value will have your domain appended to it. Practice it to understand what this means.}}* test the Test your two new records above you just created using dig, and using firefox. If you're not sure whether the problem is with caching: you can query the authoritative DNS server directly:<source>dig asmith15.ops345.ca @littlesvr.ca</source>* You should also be able to go to www.yourusername.ops345.ca in a web browser.
