RE: [techtalk] More DNS Questions

CNAMEs do not take IPs as their value.  They point to a name instead.  For example:   ns1                  A       24.190.202.53 ns2                  A       207.127.75.180 www                CNAME   ns1 irc                   CNAME   ns1 mail                CNAME   ns1 kathweb.net.    CNAME   ns1   Jason          -----Original Message----- From: Kath [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2001 11:26 AM To: Kath; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [techtalk] More DNS Questions Talked to another person at OPN who said the As should be unique IPs and CNAMEs should be thingies that resolve to the same IP.   So, I fixed that.  This is how my zone file for kathweb.net looks now:   @      SOA     kathweb.net. root.kathweb.net.
