--- Comment #11 from Daniel Zahn <[email protected]> --- making the root domain, without www, a CNAME would be a problem <snip> CNAME'ing a root record is technically not against RFC, but does have limitations meaning it is a practice that is not recommended. ... Per RFC: If a CNAME RR is present at a node, no other data should be present; And Per IETF 'Common DNS Operational and Configuration Errors' Document: This is often attempted by inexperienced administrators as an obvious way to allow your domain name to also be a host. However, DNS servers like BIND will see the CNAME and refuse to add any other resources for that name. Since no other records are allowed to coexist with a CNAME, the NS entries are ignored. Therefore all the hosts in the podunk.xx domain are ignored as well! References: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1912 section '2.4 CNAME Records' http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1034.html section '3.6.2. Aliases and canonical names' </snip> So probably the best you can do is leave the A record for tartupeedia.ee as it is, but make www.tartupeedia.ee a CNAME for wikipedia-lb.wikimedia.org. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
