:Another thing you (the original poster) could do, is if you want your
:machine to work on the net like domain.com, You could simply name the
:machine something.domain.com, CNAME domain.com to it, and reverse the
You can't CNAME domain.com, since domain.com must have the NS records
and domain's with CNAME's aren't allowed to have other record types.
You can direct mail with MX records.
You can't map domain.com's IP address to the host's real IP address
and have the reverse be domain.com ... for the host's real IP address
the reverse must match the hostname, host.domain.com. But you *can*
assign two IP addresses to the host (i.e. use an IP alias), making
the IP alias resolve to domain.com both forward and reverse while the
primary IP for the host resolves properly to host.domain.com both
forward and reverse.
Fun, eh?
