How to resolve a domain with no host name i.e. msnbc.com instead of www.msnbc.com

[David Kirk]

You want to set an A record up for your domain name.  Using the
bad example of mydomain.com (why not tell us what the domain
is?), you would do the following ...

[assume properly formatted SOA and NS records here]
                    IN                A                10.1.1.2
www            IN                CNAME     mydomain.com.

That way, whether you type www.mydomain.com or mydomain.com,
you'll hit the same machine.  This assumes that the web server is
configured to answer for both, but the above should work, based
on the question I think you are asking.
