How to create a new host record in DNS server 2003

Each computer/server requires a host record or "A" record to identify the computer in the DNS system. The host record consists of the host name of the computer along with its corresponding IP address.

To create a host or "A" record:

1. Start the DNS snap-in. To do this, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS.
2. Under DNS, expand Host name (where Host name is the host name of the DNS server).
3. Expand Forward Lookup Zones.
4. Under Forward Lookup Zones, right-click the zone that you want (for example, example.com), and then click New Host.
5. In the Name (uses parent domain name if blank) box, type the name of the host that you want to add. For example, if you want to add a host record for a Web server, type www.
6. In the IP address box, type the IP address of the host that you want to add. For example, type 192.168.0.100.
7. Select the Create associated pointer (PTR) record check box, and then click Add Host. A message similar to the following message appears:
   The host record www.example.com was successfully created.

   Click OK.
    

8. When you are finished adding hosts, click Done.
