How can I improve my domain's DNS record?

  • 772

What DNS information can I add or change to improve the DNS record for my domain name (tjrobinson.net)? I use it to host a basic website and for my email. ZoneEdit host my DNS records.

Ideas so far

  • Set up SPF record
  • Add DomainKeys support
  • Add Sender-ID support
  • Fix the warnings listed by ZoneCheck
  • Fix the errors listed by DNSQueries

  1. Well, many choices. If you think SPF helps, go for it. DomainKeys and SPF are all origin controlled, though, so it won't result in less spam, it will just help prevent spammers from sending mail impersonating your domain.

    If you are getting warnings from something, what are they? Fixing ones caused by queries is probably a good thing, but many tools artificially warn about things that the tool author thought important, but in reality are not so critical.

    Also consider DNSSEC, and adding your KSK to http://dlv.isc.org/
