Want to see what not to do with CNAMEs?
try this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ dig 99.bottles-of-beer.friocorte.com
I've also intentionally shown what not to do with regard to zone
transfers:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ host -l friocorte.com ns1.friocorte.com
you shouldn't allow zone transfers like that.
Feel free to use these two examples as "what not to do".
I've left them intentionally mis-configured for my Guru friends to use
as a demo.
