If you nslookup either name it hits back with the correct IP address. Problem, How do you get it to respond with both names if you nslookup the IP address. Currently it only comes back with the actual machines name and no alias. This is a problem beacause our reverse lookup file can have only one reverse entry in per ip number. So it reads like this 234 IN PTR somename.novalink.com. If i put in 234 IN PTR somename.novalink.com. 234 IN PTR news.novalink.com. it only responds with the first entry. so when you look up 192.168.12.234 it comes back with somename.novalink.com, but I need it to come back with both somename.novalink.com and news.novalink.com. Any help would be appreciated. All of of our CNAME entries are having this problem in that only name maps to the ip the ip maps only to the real machine name.
