Hi
For year lookups to my webserver worked properly using
www IN CNAME pluto.mydomain.com.
I've been asked to 'modernize' it by allowing access without one having to enter the 'www' in their browser. So I added - (or tried to) add an alias as follows:
mydomain IN CNAME pluto.mydomain.com.
www IN CNAME pluto.mydomain.com.
I changed the serial number and stop/start named. This seemed to work, but only for some! It worked right away from home and from another location/DNS server. But access using 'mydomain.com' does not work from some others. It has been now 24 hrs since I restarted named with the new serial number.
I did not change the reverse zone nor restart it. Should I?
I this how an alias should be used to accomplish this?
