RH8 and DNS

[rrsub]

How does one set an MX record in the RH8 utility for DNS?

I don't know what you mean. You have DNS server and want to add MX record for certain domain? Or want to add MX record 'localy' to your resolver? I suggest to read ARM (doc/arm in BIND's distribution directory; you can get it from

http://www.isc.org/products/BIND)

What I meant is that for RH8, the GUI for DNS is very handicapped. Only A records are allowed. What's the point of the GUI at all? I've resolved the issue anyway.

Thanks

I don't use GUI tools, but you can always edit the zone file in a text editor. My zone file is in /var/named/ and is called something like domain.com.zone. Add a line similar to this...
