An alias is any name that has a CNAME record. For all of the reasons stated above, and most importantly for the restriction imposed by NetSol, for your customer to be able to use their own domain in the names of the authoritative name servers, they'll need a couple of IP addresses of their own. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
