How to alias a domain

DNAMEs provide aliases for names below the one at the DNAME, but not
for the name itself.  That is, if you do this:

	bar.example DNAME foo.example

you will get an alias for www.bar.example, but not for bar.example
itself.  This is a well known limitation and is why DNAMES such as the
ones in the .CAT TLD are less useful than one might hope.

In answer to the obvious next question, the concise wisdom is "you lose."
