I want to use dnscmd.exe to allow domain.com to resolve to 10.1.1.1.
I can manually create a host record with no name. It then picks up the parent domain, but it gives a warning (same as parent) is not a valid host name. Using nslookup, I found domain.com does indeed resolve to 10.1.1.1.
I then tried to automate the proess using dnscmd. The problem then becomes how to designate a blank node name. I found "" doesn't work, but . does. However, domain.com doesn't resolve to an ip address. In DNS Manager, there is no record of the host file. If I try to recreate the host address again, it states the host already exists. Worse, I can't delete the file using dnscmd.
It leads me to wonder if I'm going about it all wrong. Is a host file the right record for this purpose? How can I use dnscmd to create the needed record?
