RE: [IMail Forum] DNS confusion...

[Gary Jorgenson]

I just used CNAME for the first time ever.   Here was my rationale:   I have the new IMail webmail interface at http://mail.robintek.com I setup a DNS for a new customer and wanted them  to have easy access to webmail without having to go to my url so I added the following to their DNS file:   webmail IN CNAME mail.robintek.com.   I'm thinking this will get them to the webmail interface using http://webmail.domainname.com   I don't know yet if this will work but thought I'd give it a shot.  It wouldn't be the first time I broke dns  :)   -Gary   Gary Jorgenson, RN President - Robin Technologies, Inc. 670 Lakeview Plaza Blvd., Suite J | Worthington, OH 43085 Phone: 614.888.3001 | Fax: 614.888.3002 | Cell: 614.657.8080 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.robintek.com   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matrosity Hosting Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2006 3:37 PM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] DNS confusion... sounds good, now why?
