We're not (in this case) discussing a CNAME record that points out of the zone, to a name in another zone. In this particular case, I don't see any real reason to prefer one over the other. Yes, in general, CNAME records are a danger to neophytes, but I don't see anything wrong with this particular setup. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy
