Hello Frederick,

After having read and re-read your question, it is still not clear.

Could you please post /etc/named.conf and /etc/resolv.conf ?

Your zone file requres a line (near the top) with just:

@ IN A ip.of.mydomain.com

usually just after the SOA.

The @ refers to the host mentioned in the previous line (the domain record), and assigns it an address.

Hi,

Edit your forward zone file and put records like this

xxx.mydomain.com IN A yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
mydomain.com. IN CNAME xxx.mydomain.com.

Save the file and restart named daemon.

Now if you lookup xxx.mydomain.com or mydomain.com you will get the same IP address yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
