forever ago, i set myself up with a solid bandwidth and static IPs and started to host websites for my friends & their small businesses. basically, they covered the cost of my internet access.
so for 10 years i've been hosting my own name, mail, and web servers allowing me to '@ A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' and then to make life easy i would 'www IN CNAME mywebserver.mydomain.com.' i say easy, because that way in the event that i changed ISPs and got new IP addresses, there was less chance of my screwing up a www and MX record if i made sure to change the two primary machines' A records properly. however, the '@ IN xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' would always need to be changed manually. Is there a way around this? is it possible in some fashion to '@ IN CNAME my.server.com' ? I ask because I'm trying to trim back here, and move my NS hosting to NetSol and subsequently trim back on what i have to manage. at this stage in the game i'd rather have more time to not worry about my friend's personal website about their kids, and still be confident that their wife's home business website will still stay up. any ideas on how i can CNAME their @ record so their http://whatever.com will still work, but in the end, i'm only managing one domain's IP records? thanks, richard _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
