DNS management problems on DirectAdmin
| Posted by Narcolog, 06-02-2012, 06:46 PM |
| Need to add this 2 lines for domain via DirectAdmin ->"DNS Management" section
wap.domain.com. CNAME modhi.domain.org
domain.com. CNAME modhi.domain.org
First line i add w/o any problem, but when i try to add the second one i got an error
What i'm doing wrong?
thank you

| Instead of modhi.domain.org try modhi.domain.org. <-- trailing dot
A trailing dot will do wonders

| Hello,
Are you putting the dot at the end of the domain name for the records?

| It is against RFC to point domain.tld. to a CNAME record.
not ok
ok

| Of course i add dot at the end of the domain, but as dubdub claim and as i was advised on another forum, we can only use CNAME for subdomains and services (i.e., sub.domain.com and service.domain.com) but not for the canonical name domain.com, in the zone file for domain.com. If you do, the zone file isn't even loaded into BIND.

| Yes , for the main domain you can't cname to others
however, I tried with changing www. cname to ghs.google.com. for example
then do a domain forward for yourdomain.com forward to www.yourdomain.com
it work out fine
