(QDNS Pro 3.53 for OS 9) My typical 'virtual domain' zone (sans SOA) looks something like: virtualdomain.com. NS my.name.server. virtualdomain.com. NS my.other.name.server. virtualdomain.com. A w.x.y.z ; the IP address of my web server www.virtualdomain.com CNAME virtualdomain.com. virtualdomain.com. MX 10 my.mail.server. virtualdomain.com. MX 20 my.backup.mail.server. ; if relevant Once the DNS zone is set up, you will, of course, need to configure your web server to serve the virtual host and your mail server to accept mail for it. How you do that depends on your particular web and mail servers, so we'll leave it as an exercise for the reader. ;-) Christopher Bort | cbort@globalhomes.com Webmaster, Global Homes | webmaster@globalhomes.com <http://www.globalhomes.com/> | PGP public key available on request
