If I want a cname, I just do
@ORIGIN old.dom

www		IN	cname	www.new.dom.

But it has become fashionable to omit www. so it is possible to just type
http://old.dom

Is it possible to have a cname old.dom to new.dom?

If I just do
@	cname	new.dom.

I get the error "CNAME and OTHER data".

Any other way?
I can do
@	IN	A	1.2.3.4
but I'd rather avoid having to change the ip in two places, if I can help
it. Especially when we're not hosting new.dom, only old.dom

Leif
