Well, if I try to test dns at nslookup console I can tell all the hosts listed above and get all the properties about his even if it's a canonical name. When I try to ping the same hosts I can't get they all to work and actually only myers.hvip reply me, the others hosts are replyed as unkown host. What am I doing wrong? I tryed a lot of combinations how you can see in lines about ns and mail CNAME, but the canonical names never reply my ping request.
I would, for the CNAMEs, either use "myers" or "myers.hvip.". The . at the end means don't append the domain name to the record.
