Determine the address(es) for the target domain name shop4water.hostedbywebtstore.com (I'm using 127.0.0.1 as an example), and add each to an A record in the zone, which should look a bit like this: $TTL 3600 @ IN SOA shop4water.com. root.shop4water.com. ( 1 ; serial 3H ; refresh 1H ; retry 1W ; expiry 1H ) ; negTTL IN NS ns7.worldnic.com. IN NS ns8.worldnic.com. IN A 127.0.0.1 ; replace w/ IP of target As Phill said, a CNAME instead of the A record is illegal at the apex (i.e. the top) of the zone; CNAME must not exist with other data e.g. NS or SOA records, which are mandatory for a zone. Hope that helps. -JP _______________________________________________ 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
