Domain aliasing...CNAME and OTHER data error

[Joe Dietz]

I'm trying to get a "domain.com" to respond to our web server.  See the
zone file below.  www.xyz.com aliases fine to www.abc.com.  The error is
on the domain name  xyz.com alias to www.abc.com.  I get the bind error
CNAME and OTHER data error using Bind 8.2.2-p5.

I can get xyz.com to work if I put an "A" record with and IP address.
I'm trying to
make updating all the aliased domains easier.  I'd like to be able to
change one zone
abc.com and not have to adjust xyz.com to match.

Can someone shed some light on this...?
