Zone Files for Internal DNS Server

[Kevin Darcy]

If you want to spoof www.hotmail.com and nothing else under hotmail.com, 
then create a zone file for www.hotmail.com with an A record at the 
apex. There's nothing magical about a "www" label that says you can't 
create a zone for it.

                                                                         
                                       - Kevin
