We have a number of field offices that connect to us directly, and we'd
like to make these subdomains of Solbourne.COM.
What I have done is to modify our sendmail.cf so that mail to one of
these known subdomains is sent directly to the proper site (via uucp).
So, for example, mail to mikeb@westsci.solbourne.com is sent
via uucp to the site that handles the 'westsci' subdomain.
In addition, the subdomain sites are set up to accept this mail. Also,
they are set up to use us (the main office) as their domain address
relay site, and to send any *.solbourne.com domain mail not destined
for their subdomain to us as well.
First of all, does this sound like a reasonable method? My understanding
is that we can create subdomains without having to register them.
Secondly, what is the proper way to set up the UUCP maps for these
sites? For example, our map entry contains the lines:
stan .solbourne.com
stan solbourne.com
stan= stan.solbourne.com
The site handling the subdomain westsci.solbourne.com is called
westsci. Is it correct for the entry for westsci to contain the
lines:
westsci .westsci.solbourne.com
westsci westsci.solbourne.com
westsci= westsci.solbourne.com
or will this cause undue confusion or bad mail routing?
