Thanks guys for clearing this up. So in short you cannot CNAME an entire domain (domain.com IN CNAME google.com <-------- can't do ).

Thanks for the input.  Really appreciate it.

Cheers!

Hi,

I am stuck at this situation:

Where I have a domain:  abc.com :

I would like to have user who type  http://abc.com (without the www)
redirected to a a different site for example :  www.xyz.com
Redirection for www.abc.com to www.xyz.com works fine.

I have tried CNAME-ing abc.com to www.xyz.com but that wouldn't work (I
can see it why).
Is there a way to do this in BIND zone configuration?


with this in my zone i get to google.com when i try to access
test.mydomain.org:

test            IN      CNAME   google.com.



This works, yes. But you can't have a CNAME that has the same name as
the zone. It would conflict with the SOA and with the NS entries.
Parvinder will have to use it's scripts to make this work, as he can't
use http redirect.

My regards,
