how domain.com to www.domain.com

hi,

same question was answered (for me...) a few days ago. You might want to
search the archive...

Anyways, in your master zone definition file, put this line:
domain.com.	IN	A	xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip of your www server. Be sure the www server
(Apache?) has a virtual host for domain.com

This works fine for me with Bind 9.1.2 and Apache 1.3.19.

I was also wondering - anybody knows - can the above line point to a CNAME
instead of pointing to an ip?

Hope it helps!
