Having problem with TXT records
Can I use DNS Manager to add a TXT record to this domain?
Thanks,
GT

No. You'll need to add your own domain to be able to control things like TXT records.

Thanks, I've got a domain I can add.
What's the format I need to use? Do I need to include double quotes around it?
Anyone had any luck with TXT records?
Thanks,

I just created one and it worked fine.
Name: test
Value: Yes
~> host -t txt test.thefoots.com ns1.linode.com
Using domain server:
Name: ns1.linode.com
Address: 69.93.127.10#53
Aliases:
test.thefoots.com descriptive text "Yes"
I am still having problems with this though. It's very strange, all of my other records are working perfectly. I even tried the exact same record you mentioned you tried, but it still isn't showing up.
Name: test
Value: yes
[root@server root]# host -t txt ossplanet.com ns1.linode.com
Using domain server:
Name: ns1.linode.com
Address: 69.93.127.10#53
Aliases:
Dig reveals the same results
[root@server root# dig @ns1.linode.com -t txt ossplanet.com

Any ideas? This is weird. It got to be something stupid I am doing, or not doing, though.
Here's my zone file according to DNS Manager.
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA ns1.linode.com. root.ossplanet.com. (
2007091059
7200

@ NS ns2.linode.com.
@ MX 10 mail.ossplanet.com.
test TXT "yes"
trojan A 64.22.124.53
