Hi!

As always, a question which has nothing to do with freebsd, but who can help
if
not the friendly freebsd users:)

I have a domain: domain.net
and severa independent subdomains: a.domain.net, b.domain.net and
c.domain.net
They are independent in the sense that they all have separate mail accounts
and
web server, however they are all run on the same host with the same ip
address.
Which would be the best way to setup dns:
ONE WAY:
        IN    A    A.B.C.D
a        IN CNAME domain.net.
b        IN CNAME domain.net.
c        IN CNAME domain.net.

TEH THER WAY:
    IN    A    A.B.C.D
a    IN    A A.B.C.D
b    IN    A A.B.C.D
c    IN    A A.B.C.D

The first way causes some problems with sendmail and i hardly see any other
problems, but sendmail
people were really unhappy with this way.

The second way i don't like because the LOOKUP and THEN REVERSE LOOKUP for
subdomains does not give in any way the original domain, which, i think, can
cause problems
in case of DNS security/sanity checks make by several programs.

So, which way shoudl i go?

Regards,
