SOA ns1.infoedg.com. swiftly.specsimple.com. 1999122600 ; serial 28800 ; refresh (8 hours) 7200 ; retry (2 hours) 604800 ; expire (7 days) 86400 ; minimum (1 day) specsimple.com. NS ns1.infoedg.com. specsimple.com. NS ns2.infoedg.com. specsimple.com. CNAME www.infoedg.com. specsimple.com. MX 10 mail.infoedg.com. www2.specsimple.com. A 160.79.80.177 dealer.specsimple.com. CNAME www.infoedg.com. www.specsimple.com. CNAME www.infoedg.com. That's your domain. (The SOA record, which is the first 7 lines, is your Domain Information dialog.) The problem is this: specsimple.com. CNAME www.infoedg.com. That isn't going to work. You can't have a CNAME record for a name that has other records. Since you can't get rid of your SOA record (nor your NS and MX records), you can't have a CNAME record named specsimple.com. Change it to an A record: specsimple.com. A 160.79.80.160 Another problem: Currently, the reverse record for this address shows this: 160.80.79.160.in-addr.arpa. PTR www.specsimple.com. But www.specsimple.com is a CNAME record. This is a minor error. The PTR record should refer to a name that can be resolved back to it through an A record, such as www.infoedg.com. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
