Hi all,
I have been having this configuration problem for quite a while now, and
don't know where to turn to find out more information.  Any suggestions
or pointers to other resources would be greatly appreciated!!

I'll start with what I want.
I have a domain valleynet.on.ca with several machines in it.  Even though
there are several machines, there is really only one that is accessed from
the WWW.  It is named valley1.valleynet.on.ca
I would like the WWW to access valley1 simply by typing the domain name.
ex: http://valleynet.on.ca/    or   telnet valleynet.on.ca

To do this I had in my DNS: valleynet.on.ca in a 204.40.198.3
I also have: valley1 in a 204.40.198.3
             valley2 in a 204.40.198.4
             etc...

This worked, but I had a problem with outgoing mail to domains that didn't
exist.  I kept getting messages back with that error:
nonexist.domain.name.valleynet.on.ca points back to ...

I was told that a better way of doing what I want is to have:
valleynet.on.ca. in CNAME valley1     and
valleynet.on.ca. in MX 10 valley1.valleynet.on.ca

which is what I have now.  The problem now is that all mail coming in looks
like it was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] which is the address actually used.  This is causing
lots of problems with mailing lists.

The last suggestion I got was to have sendmail not re-write the headers,
but I'm not 100% sure this is what is happening.

How should this be done??
Is there any other mailing lists I should be posting this to??
(I don't have access to newsgroups)
Thank you,
David Priebe
