Having problem with TXT records

Hello,

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

That's what I thought.

Thanks, I've got a domain I can add.

So I figured it out and got a/cname/mx records working great, but for some reason my txt record isn't showing up.

What's the format I need to use? Do I need to include double quotes around it?

Anyone?

Anyone had any luck with TXT records?

Thanks,

GT

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"

Thanks for the reply jeffml,

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

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> @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.

You're not specifying which record to return. Try querying for test.ossplanet.com, type txt. It works.
