I run my own name servers for a small web-hosting service. All sites on
my server are set up so that "theirdomain.com" and "www.theirdomain.com"
will resolve to their site. I also add an MX record and a mail alias so
that they can reach my mail server using mail.theirdomain.com.
The way I do this is by adding a blank "A" record pointing to their IP:
@ A 66.11.178.116
@ MX 10 mail.mrcccox.ca.
mail CNAME mail.mrcccox.ca.
www CNAME theirdomain.com.
The way I would like to do this is different: I want to have
"theirdomain.com" an alias and "www.theirdomain.com" an alias, this way
if my IP address ever changes, I only have to change it in one zone
instead of all zones. This would work but I also need an MX record and
I am not allowed to create a blank CNAME and a blank MX record in the
same zone.
How can I have my MX record and still be able to make "theirdomain.com"
resolve to an alias?
Thanks
Mike
