Mucking about with DNS

Subdomain woes

[j4mes]

Today I'm having great fun playing with DNS records for a domain name, creating new subdomains and so forth (its all a learning experience).

All fine, except when I go to create a no-subdomain subdomain (i.e. domain.com), where my domain registrar simply serves up its holding page rather than resolving it to my specified IP, as it does for all others (i.e. www.domain.com, test.domain.com, etc.)

So my question is basically what do I put in the name box to have a no-subdomain subdomain?

Cheers,

J.

Hi, basicallt the basic A record should refer the domain, then u can set up subdomain via C records. the default symbol to reffer to teh domain is "@".

My files usually only have:
A192.168.0.152
*CNAME@

in them since I like to work with wildcard subs and sort them out in my scripts.

Aha! @ works beautifully!

Thank you so much.
