Topic: CNAME records

[Luciano Terra]

Hello Friends

Is there a way for create CNAME records template to point www, ftp, mail,etc to www.anotherdomain.xxx ?

Are you wanting to point clients on your private network to another server that is on your local network.  If you want to do that you need to be hosting that domain.  If you are wanting to do that go into the e-smith manager and add a virtual domain, then under hostnames and address you can add your www.anotherdomain.com.

  If you are wanting this for an external site, public dns should be resolving this.  If you need additional help post more info.

i need point www2.mydomain.com to host server1.otherdomain.com!!

If you want users going to www2.mydomain.com to be directed to server1.otherdomain.com then you need to do essentially this:

1) A record for www2.mydomain.com to server1.otherdomain.com
2) A record for server1.otherdomain.com to IP address of server1.otherdomain.com
3) Configure server1 to take the incoming request and proccess it as you want.

Do you handle the name servers for both mydomain.com and otherdomain.com?

Oops, sorry, changed thoughts in middle of typing and didn't change the text.

Try this, instead:

1) A record for www2.mydomain.com to IP Number for server1.otherdomain.com
2) Configure server1 to take the incoming request and proccess it as you want, based on the header information.
