Confused :( Do your customer want: www.xyz.com pointing to the same IP as www.abcd.com without having to manage xyz.com? ------ With bind: zonefile xyz.com $ORIGIN xyz.com. <yadiyada TTL SOA> $INCLUDE domains/abcd.com.all zonefile abcd.com $ORIGIN abcd.com. <yadiyada TTL SOA> $INCLUDE domains/abcd.com.all Just make sure nothing is the .all has the .abcd.com. (dots are important). Without bind: Good luck. ----- Alain Hebert ahebert () pubnix net PubNIX Inc. 50 boul. St-Charles P.O.

short answer: can't be done You cannot have a cname and 'other' information for same entry. As a zone requires an SOA record, you cannot have a CNAME for the entire domain (theoretically a registrar could do it in .com, but afaik nobody does his). Depending on customer's requirements, can put in a wildcard *.abcd.com in cname xyz.com Or can load the same zone file for both abcd.com and xyz.com, so in both, mail<domain> goes to the same place On Wed, 11 Dec 2013, Methsri Wickramarathna wrote:Hi All, One of our customer having the following requirement. There is a domain abcd.com ( zone file created , A records are pointed ). He has another domain xyz.com. He want us to create a separate zone file for " xyz.com " & abcd.com should be the CNAME of it. ( No "A" records mentioned ) I'm bit confuse about adding this in zone file. Can any one help ? :( -- ~~( ??? )~~
