corp.serv.novl host would be contacted first, and 2 out of 3 times, the gwdev.serv.novl
host would be contacted first.
Port (column 7): The port number specifies the TCP port on which the MTA listens for incoming
messages. The default port number for the MTA is 7100.
Host (column 8): The host specifies the fully-qualified host name or IP address of the MTA’s
server. For a service record, you must specify the host name. For a text record, you can specify
either the server’s host name or IP address. If you use a host name, it must be mapped to an IP
address through an DNS "A" record. In the above example,
corp.serv.novl
,
gwdev.serv.novl
, and
gwsup.serv.novl
are all host names that are mapped to IP
addresses through "A" records in DNS.
2.5 Configuring the MTA’s Server for DNS
Lookups
In order for an MTA in your GroupWise system to use dynamic Internet links to send messages, you
must make sure the MTA’s server is properly configured for DNS lookups. Basic configuration
information is provided below. Consult your DNS documentation for more detailed information
about configuring a server for DNS lookups.

2.5.1 Configuring a NetWare 6. x or 5.1 Server for DNS Lookups
On a NetWare
®
server, you need to have a
resolv.cfg
file in the
sys:\etc
directory that
defines the DNS name server for that NetWare server. The
resolv.cfg
file would look similar to
the following, based on a
novell.com
domain:
domain novell.com
nameserver 172.16.5.18
Consult your NetWare documentation for more detailed information about configuring a NetWare
server for DNS lookups.
2.5.2 Configuring a Windows 2000 Server for DNS Lookups
On the Windows* 2000 server:
1 Click the Start menu > Settings > Control Panel .
2 Double-click Network and Dial-Up Connections , double-click Local Area Connection , then
click Properties to display the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box.
3 In the list of protocols, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) , then click Properties to display the
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box.
4 Click Advanced to display the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box.

Click the DNS tab, then make sure the IP address of at least one DNS name server is listed in
the DNS Server Addresses list.
Consult your DNS documentation for more detailed information about configuring a Windows
workstation or server for DNS lookups.
