The two RR's above will perform a round-robin for metta.lk.  From
reading above, I believe this is what you are trying to do.

  dhamma		IN	  A	    203.115.29.146

Add this RR to get the round-robin for the dhamma.metta.lk domain.


> dhamma          IN      MX      10      dhamma.metta.lk.
> www             IN      CNAME   dhamma.metta.lk.

The record above will point www.metta.lk to dhamma.metta.lk.  I think
this is also what you are going for.

  www.dhamma	IN      CNAME   dhamma.metta.lk.

Add this RR to make www.dhamma.metta.lk point to dhamma.metta.lk.


> WWW             IN      CNAME   dhamma.metta.lk.
The second WWW RR is redundant, you can safely delete it.



I think this should do what you are trying...
