QUESTION: What does the @ symbol mean with respect to DNS?


ANSWER:

The @ SYMBOL in this context is used as a pointer. The zone will look to the next @ to see where the origin or main domain resolves to for this zone file. This symbol is used as a standard world wide for this type of zone file entry. Any record using the @ symbol will resolve to the same IP address that the main domain resolves to.
