Greetings all!
Well! I just started re-studying the DNS aspect.
The docs under Vmin might just as well be in Arkkadian (world’s oldest formed language)to me. It is a Dark Zone.
I will one day hope to help other Newbies as soon as I can understand things!
In the meanwhile what about: http://opendns.com ?
Having just found it, it reads like a “must have/do” thing. If it turns out to be what it looks like, I’ll certainly write it up for the Docs.
Any commentary welcome.
Any other pointers to some simpler info on the DNS issue would be welcome. Esp. how come it is basically all on auto at the better Shared Hosting or even Dom sales operators?
(My experience (competent User,non-geek) over the years has never seen any problems like these I’m currently experiencing.
This was with a lot of shared hosts and all under CPanel/WHM till I moved to Webmin/Vmin and my own little Server, principally due to overloaded Shared Servers constantly crashing upon ANY real load).
I certainly know from long experience that most "Webmasters" tend to be kids with more chutzpah than skills and yet they somehow manage to get millions of innocents onto their wonky systems with overall, very few problems.
They certainly couldn’t even read, let alone follow, the highly technical instructions provided by our resident expertise here!!!
So, I’m going back to go through the demo movies yet again. There must be something simple I am missing here…
Compared to this last year or two, learning to fly was a snack! AND not some easy wank with a propellor, either. I flew Gliders, till my nerve broke.
Like Alladin, I seek the magic word. It has to be simple in the end. Even Wally is doing it…
Cheers!

Note: All I try to do is a standard Webmin/Vmin install, no great demands - all vanilla. No tricky bits or demands at all.
