That does sound right - and that is probably why I couldn't figure out how
to do this :)

I got this from a DNS expert, not from Cobalt. I have to set up a pointer
for a customer, I'll play with it as well. Maybe we have to use the cname,
but this EXPERT (owns an ISP of good size) highly recommended against cname
if you can avoid it.
