Im reading through this thread right now and haven't gotten all the way through it but I decided to go ahead and answer this question. A CNAME vs an A name is quite simple. A CNAME points to an A name. You can't have a CNAME without a proper A name. So this is why you would get a bogus record. If you have nothing for the CNAME to point to how can you use a CNAME? You can't :) - Jim Shouldn't this thread have been called: A names vs CNAMEs? >Best regards, > Gabriel > > > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Today's errors, in contrast: Windows - "Invalid page fault in module kernel32.dll at 0032:A16F2935" UNIX - "segmentation fault - core dumped" Humanous Beingsus - "OOPS, I've fallen and I can't get up" ------------------------------- Jim Conner NOTJames jconner@enterit.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
