Thanks Larry. That was what I was alluding to. I just thought Network
Solutions had control of those records, but you've set me straight on
that. I suspect the process isn't any different, just who's doing it is.
Thanks again.
Bill

To reiterate -- AngelicHost hosts the DNS for U2UG.org. We have complete
control over the A, MX, CNAME, etc. records. Right now, all of the DNS
records point to one of our servers. I have a redirect setup on that server
so that any incoming requests for www.u2ug.org are redirected to
www.u2ug.net. It's a simple matter to modify the A record for www.u2ug.org
to point it to the appropriate server. Because of the lists, we need to
keep the MX record pointed to our server, but if we want "official"
@u2ug.org email addresses for the board, or whatever, those can be
accommodated.

Bill,
You missed something =).
Network solutions does not host the domain only redirects to the specified
named server(s) (ns9.angelichost.net), i.e. doesn't host the A or MX record
directly.
Respectfully,

When I looked at the "whois" record for "u2ug.org", the sponsoring registrar
and the Tech organization for the "u2ug.org" domain is Network Solutions,
LLC. I may have missed something here, which is quite possible. :-)

Pointing the WWW host isn't so much about where/who the registrar is,
but
where the nameservers are.
Network Solutions does offer DNS services, but the u2ug.org domain
appears
to use angelichost.net
nameservers. Not sure if Don has direct control over the A records or not.
Plus a few hosts frown on
records pointing to other providers (mainly paranoid ones)... He may
have
to ask them to do it, and
possibly explain why he'd want it that way.
