I have a client that has registered more than one second level domain and i want to point all of them to one IP. So the main domain name has the a record to the pointer and the second is a cname to the a record. example ------- db.mydomain: SOA stuff NS stuff MX stuff mydomain.com. IN A 207.176.196.2 www IN CNAME mydomain.com. ftp IN CNAME mydomain.com. db.mydomain2: SOA stuff NS stuff MX stuff mydomain2.com. IN CNAME mydomain.com. www IN CNAME mydomain.com. ftp IN CNAME mydomain.com. Yes, I know the mydomain.com. can be simplifed to a @ but for simplicity i have done it this way.. I'm using BIND 4.9.4-P1 (the one that comes with FreeBSD 2.2.1). The Error I recive is: May 28 17:12:14 mydomain2.com. named[1234]: mydomain2.com. has CNAME and other data (illegal) thanxs, Mark Segal mark@club-web.com System Admin - Club-Web Inc.
