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, Artem Koutchine matrix@chat.ru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
