I don't know what you mean by that. Apex of what exactly - my zone file? I can make a zone file that simply has a CNAME in it with no SOA, serial number etc...?
As noted I do not own the target zone so I can't update any records there. Can you tell me exactly what the zone file should look like with the CNAME record at the "apex"? -----Original Message----- From: bind-users-bounces+jlightner=water....@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-bounces+jlightner=water....@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Phil Mayers Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 11:41 AM To: bind-users@lists.isc.org Subject: Re: CNAME only zone?

No. CNAME conflicts with any other record - including the SOA and NS records required at the apex. You will have to put an A record at the apex. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users Athena(r), Created for the Cause(tm) Making a Difference in the Fight Against Breast Cancer --------------------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail may contain privileged or confidential information and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
