"Error from park wrapper: Sorry, the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers associated with this server. Please transfer the domain to this servers nameservers or have your administrator add one of its nameservers to /etc/ips.remotedns and make the proper A entries on that remote nameserver." This is the message I got. Questions:
- DNS servers?
- What is an IP address?
- What is an /etc/ips.remotedns?
- What is an A entry?
1. A
DNS server is any computer registered to join the Domain Name System. A DNS server runs special-purpose networking software, features a public
IP address,and contains a database of network names and addresses for other Internet hosts.
2.An
IP address (
Internet Protocol address) is a unique
address that certain electronic devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a
computer network utilizing the
Internet Protocol standard (
IP)—in simpler terms, a computer
address. Any participating network device—including
routers,
switches,
computers, time-servers,
printers,
Internet fax machines, and some
telephones—can have their own unique address. In other words, the IP address acts as a
locator for one IP device to find another and interact with it. It is not intended, however, to act as an
identifier that always uniquely identifies a particular device.
