DNS Zone Transfers to Secondary DNS Server

May 17, 2007

So this is the second time this has bitten me. I make sure I have everything setup properly so that I can transfer the DNS records from the primary DNS server to the secondary server. Everything is perfect right? I forget one last small detail. Not only do you need UDP port 53 open for DNS queries… but to do a zone transfer you also need TCP port 53 open as well.

Hopefully this post finds its way to another poor soul banging his head on his desk about the same thing.


Linking source code to a SWC in FlexBuilder

May 11, 2007

So everyone is telling me I should post more… so I thought I would share this little pearl.

When adding a SWC to your project you can also add the ability to step in when debugging or F3 (or ctrl+click) into the class definitions contained in the SWC file by adding the directory where the source code lives to the SWC’s source attachment property. This also gives you the ability to step into the source code.

Here’s a screen-shot example of linking the Cairngorm 2.1 source with the Cairngorm.swc.

OK… no more excuses… love the swc…  embrace the swc.. they’re apart of flex too.
