Re: cname for apex record

The HTTPS record is supported by EVERY DNS server on the planet to various degrees. DNS was designed to allow new records types to be served without having to upgrade the world. Originally you needed to upgrade the servers that served the zone with the new type as the zone content needed to be

Thanks Jan, Per discussion not supported by all dns servers nor clients. Ultimate solution is a non-DNS based fix to the websites anchors or a url wr-write function to correct for the missing www. Prefix. Thanks, Brian -Original Message- From: bind-users On Behalf Of Jan Schaumann vi

I talked about html anchors, but web developer wants to tell me they don't have any html because they use Drupal. I looked at some page source and sure enough its html under the hood. I'll look at those links, are you saying that they re-write them between the server reading the page source and

Re: cname for apex record

I feel your pain. You do have to pick your battles and if you don't have anyone to back you up it becomes much, much harder. The over-arching issue here is that devs want everything to be easy for them at the expense of infrastructure. My favorite phrase to devs especially web devs is "this i

RE: cname for apex record

Greg, I need to sit with the web developer and hash it out, I think its to avoid re-writing the links in the web pages that use the domain name rather than the fully qualified name. ie Wadsworth.org in anchors rather than www.wadsworth.org. I see an alternate fix for this if that is the case, s

Re: cname for apex record

Hi Brian. You can't redirect your entire zone from inside the zone itself. CNAME absolutely will not do it, by design (also DNAME). The reason is, the way that DNS works. wadsworth.org has been delegated to a bunch of DNS servers (see below), which are presumably run by you and associated entities

cname for apex record

Hello bind users. We are running bind 9.14.28 on Ubuntu and have an offsite provider for our DNS services. The cname we create for our webserver www.wadsworth.org is working well. However, I've been asked if we can point the apex record at the external webserver. If
