Awesome Jay!
Clarified "A Record" = Address Record.
Thanks.
Thanks for the video.
There are several commands and files related to that. Please tell us more about this. Also, what is the sequence the server uses to find the host name?
We had a problem in an installation that we did by mistake upgrade for a server that already has been upgraded because they all have the same name.
Exactly what we do at School right now, thank you for this gift 🙂
