Thanks! That's a start , because the page is not locally hosted. Greetings, Sebastiaan.

Re: url forward
Thanks, I will discuss this with my provider when really needed. Greetings, Sebastiaan You can't do this with DNS alone; your provider needs to run a virtual host for you. Whenever any HTTP/1.1 client (or HTTP/1.0 client with Netscape extensions, the two of which combined form the vast majority of even vaguely recent browsers) sends a request for one of your pages, it sends the HTTP header Host: www.dorpsnet.nl. Your provider's web server then needs to recognize that and send them back pages from the directory ~sebas. This should be trivial for a provider who knows anything at all about web hosting. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
url forward
Hello, I am new to domain name servers, so I may ask stupid questions, but I hope someone can help me. I have just set up a nameserver which works fine. Now I want to forward my www to my internet provider, but there is a slight problem. My page does not have an ip, but is in fact a directory on the server of my provider. This is my situation: /etc/bind/db.dorpsnet contains the lines: local A 192.168.1.254 www A 194.235.126.184 so when I acces www.dorpsnet.nl (local name) I succesfully reach the provider's home page. But unfortunately, my homepage is at 194.235.126.184/~sebas Can you give me a hint or some tips how to manage this? Can this be done with DNS, or do I have to install another package? Thanks in advance, Sebastiaan

Ok, does anyone know an elegant (and fast) method to accomplish this, so that the original domain name (www.dorpsnet.nl) stays in the url (so that www.dorpsnet.nl is equivalent to 194.235.126.184/~sebas)?
