Yes, I was a little bit short. My /var/log/daemon.log nags me when
restarting bind with:
named[5031]: www.sacred-key.org has CNAME and other data (invalid)
named[5031]: /etc/bind/db.sacred-key:21:www.sacred-key.org: CNAME and OTHER
data error
named[5031]: master zone "sacred-key.org" (IN) rejected due to errors (serial
2002030108)
named[5031]: master zone "123.163.62.in-addr.arpa" (IN) loaded (serial
2002030102)
My db.sacred-key is (relevant part, AFAICT):
IN NS ns1.sacred-key.org.
IN MX 25 mail.sacred-key.org.
IN MX 50 mail.chello.nl.
IN A 62.163.123.215
ns IN A 62.163.123.215
ns1 IN A 62.163.123.215
www IN CNAME www.cosjoan.box.nl.
and the website is a virtual host, the page is located at
http://www.box.nl/~cosjoan/
In the past we used a free url forwarder on the web, which was integrated
in this way:
www IN NS www-dns
www-dns IN A 202.60.251.41
with 202.60.251.41 the DNS server of the forwarder. Worked perfectly, but
the service stopped.
Thanks in advance,
Sebastiaan
