DNS domain pointing to specific record
|
|

| Is there any way to make a domain name, eg : domain.com, to point to a specific record like [www.domain.com].
That is if I enter http]://domain.com the result I need is [www.domain.com]
The website is hosted on a separate server then the name server.
Suppose NS is 192.168.0.1 and www is 192.168.0.2
By default [http]://domain.comsends me to 192.168.0.1. | |

| How about an alias? | |

| If you change your dns record for domain.com to code:
domain.com CNAME www.domain.com
, then if you look up domain.com it will do another look up to www.domain.com. This adds an extra querie, but it won't be a big deal. For performance, put code:
domain.com A IP.add.res.s
Now that domain.com is really www.domain.com, you need the www.domain.com webserver to serve pages for domain.com, so add a code:
ServerAlias domain.com
into your httpd.conf file, or similar if using another webserver.
HTH,
