No, you can' have a CNAME at the top of a zone. A zone requires an SOA and CNAMEs cannot co-exist with ANY other record. Depending on exactly what you are trying to accomplish, you might get there by: 1. A DNAME in the parent. This aliases the entire domain, so this might or might not do what you want. DNAMEs do not redirect their own name, so neither a DNAME at the zone apex (which is legal) nor one in the parent would have the effect of a CNAME at the apex. A *CNAME* in the parent would, but only as long as you didn't mind losing all the rest of the zone. 2. Use a A (and other records as needed) instead of a CNAME. This is, of course, the usual solution. -- Chris Thompson Email: c...@cam.ac.uk ___ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users

CNAME record for the root of the domain
How to set it? I know there is a workaround, but I hadn't been able to make it work... I use bind 9.7.3.

What have you tried so far? @ IN CNAME linuxsystems.it. No CNAME and other data [1]. You have an SOA and NS at the apex, so a CNAME isn't allowed. -JP [1] Until you start with DNSSEC :) ___ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
