Thanks Mike, that certainly is a way to solve it. Once I have a web
server I could also just simply use HTML redirection.
However, that would kind of defeat the purpose of trying to reduce
complexity by moving from Slicehost to Heroku. I'm trying to reduce
the number of players if at all possible. So far, those are my
options.
1 Player: Heroku offers DNS services (coming at some point in the future)
2 Players:Heroku, DNS – Possibly ALIAS instead of CNAME
3 Players:Heroku, DNS, Redirection – Point root domain to redirection
server (zoneedit.com)
4 Players:Heroku, DNS, web server, HTML/PHP – Run a web server a have
a redirection inside an HMTL/PHP file.
The guys at wtfdns.com are working on a solution (2) that might solve
the problem. Apparently ALIAS is acting like an A record to the
outside world but as a CNAME internally. I'm not sure how exactly it
works so my explanation is probably too simplified. The outcome,
however, should be that it would solve the problem without violating
any RFC regulations and successfully recognizing all records.
Doesn't sound too bad so far?!
