CNAMES and OTHER data

[Marc Storck]

Hmmm..... sometime in the past I used granitecanyon.com as DNS provider and
I used wonders.net as host...

while wonders.net was experimental and had a dynamic IP, we added the
following to the Zone we had at GraniteCanyon:

$ORIGIN sample.domain

@    IN    A    wonders.dyn.ml.org
(I forgot to mention Wonders.net used Monolith for Static Host to Dynamic
IP)
I didn't have any real experience with DNS so I wasn't aware it was
"illegal/incorrect", but I worked during our 2-3 months of experimental
service...

Now I'm stuck at the same point, I have/want to point a zone-apex to another
hostname.....

any Ideas?

I thought of using nsupdate but I don't see a way how I can restrict access
to one zone only.... or how I can give different clients access to only
their zone.....

Best Regards,

Marc
