I think what you need is the creation of DNAME.

DNAME defines a new DNS Resource Record called "DNAME", which
provides the capability to map an entire subtree of the DNS name
space to another domain. It differs from the CNAME record which maps
a single node of the name space.

Sorry I can help you with that document only. Try searching for DNAME in google.

Don't expect me to do spoon feeding for you!

Hi,

Could you please give more details about what you're trying to accomplish?
Since the domain bright.com is not existent, how can someone visit it? There must be a dns server authoritative for that zone. Then in the zone file for bright.com you can use DNAME like this:

Code:

 
;usual zonefile stuff , like SOA, TTL etc

    NS some.dns.com.
@ DNAME darks.com.

You should give us more details, about what you're trying to do. Because I suspect you want to do some sort of redirection from your web server and not through the dns server.

Anyway regarding the above example:
If the domain is not existent this is not going to work.
You need a registered domain (bright.com) and a name server (some.dns.com. in the example) that is authoritative for the domain bright.com
Then in the zone file of this domain you use the DNAME notation to redirect requests for bright.com to darks.com.
