Posted by Narcolog, 06-02-2012, 06:46 PM Need to add this 2 lines for domain via DirectAdmin ->"DNS Management" section wap.domain.com. CNAME modhi.domain.org domain.com. CNAME modhi.domain.org First line i add w/o any problem, but when i try to add the second one i got an error What i'm doing wrong? thank you

Posted by Server Management, 06-03-2012, 12:49 PM Hello, Are you putting the dot at the end of the domain name for the records? Regards,
Posted by dubdub, 06-03-2012, 02:51 PM It is against RFC to point domain.tld. to a CNAME record. not ok ok
Posted by Narcolog, 06-05-2012, 08:23 AM Of course i add dot at the end of the domain, but as dubdub claim and as i was advised on another forum, we can only use CNAME for subdomains and services (i.e., sub.domain.com and service.domain.com) but not for the canonical name domain.com, in the zone file for domain.com. If you do, the zone file isn't even loaded into BIND.
