Search Again: Re: using "mydomain.com" instead of www.mydomain.com From: andrew Date: Monday, April 3, 2000 Time: 5:42:11 am For all the domains you set up, including the main domain, you'd be better off organizing them this way: Primary Domain of Webserver: maindomain.com A 198.0.0.0 www.maindomain.com CNAME maindomain.com Next domain: mydomain.com A 198.0.0.0 www.mydomain.com CNAME mydomain.com Note: each fully qualified domain needs to have it's own DNS zone file. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Asle Benoni" <asle@askeladd.no> To: "QuickDNS Talk" <quickdns-talk@lists.menandmice.com> Sent: Monday, April 03, 2000 4:25 AM Subject: Re: using "mydomain.com" instead of www.mydomain.com on 02-04-00 01:27, andrew at andrew@ardentmicro.com wrote: > set up your A record for the "domain.com" > set up a CNAME record for www.domain.com referencing "domain.com" > > if you're using Web* virtual hosts, you need to create two entries, one for > the A record and one for the CNAME record (obviously pointing to the same > directory). > > If you're using Welcome, create a wildcard entry for the domain (e.g.: > *.domain.com) > > HTH > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Asle Benoni" <asle@askeladd.no> > > I have a simple question.

Should I also use an A record for "domain.com" pointing to the same IP adresse? I thought one should have only one A record pr. machine. Is it correct then to set up: record for maindomain.com: webserver.maindomain.com A 100.100.100.10 record for mydomain.com: mydomain.com A 100.100.100.10 www.mydomain.com CNAME mydomain.com or is it correct to set the www.mydomain.com CNAME webserver.maindomain.com ? Does it matter which record is listet first, A before CNAME? Thanks, Asle Benoni asle@askeladd.no
