They're both correct. Another possibility is to use all A records, with no CNAME records. I would tend to use all A records. It's theoretically a little faster, but the speed difference is marginal. It's just easier to deal with A records, since they don't depend on another A record. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com http://www.menandmice.com
