Read the DNS-HOWTO. It will tell you everything you need to know to set up functional zone files, as well as a good bit of the theory and practice of how they work. As for your actual question, I would set that up as an A record rather than a CNAME. (I'm not even sure that a CNAME pointing outside of the current zone is legal. It doesn't seem like a good idea, though. Too easily broken.) www IN A 111.222.333.444 -- SGI products are used to create the 'Bugs' that entertain us in theatres and at home. - SGI job posting Geek Code 3.1: GCS d? s+: a- C++ UL++$ P++>+++ L+++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- V?
