2. In the Priority field, type a priority level for this record. Valid values are<br />

Using the Master Zone Contents tab<br />

The Master Zone Contents tab is used to define the hosts that are<br />

associated with each master zone.<br />

When you select the Master Zone Contents tab a window similar to the<br />

following appears.<br />

Note: If you are adding a large number <strong>of</strong> hosts (hundreds or thousands) to a master<br />

zone, you may want to consider manually adding the required host information directly to<br />

the appropriate DNS files using one <strong>of</strong> the available editors on the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to save<br />

time. However, only experienced <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> administrators should attempt this. (Using<br />

the manual method will still require you to manually define each host.)<br />

This window is used to define the hosts that are associated with each<br />

master zone. For each host you define in a forward lookup zone you<br />

should also create a matching entry in the associated reverse lookup<br />

zone. Follow the steps below.<br />
