mydomain.com SOA ...
mydomain.com NS ns1.mydomain.com
mydomain.com A 192.168.0.4 ; must be an A record
ns1.mydomain.com A 192.168.0.4 ; must be an A record
www.mydomain.com CNAME mydomain.com
Lobby the web vendor to support SRV records so that you can
use the following and only require the A record in one place.
mydomain.com SOA ...
mydomain.com NS ns1.mydomain.com
ns1.mydomain.com A 192.168.0.4 ; must be an A record
_http._tcp.mydomain.com SRV 0 0 80 ns1.mydomain.com
_http._tcp.www.mydomain.com SRV 0 0 80 ns1.mydomain.com
