RE: [cobalt-users] FW: Name-based host problem

["ISP" <isplists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Jeff...this is what I was looking for. I think I can figure it out
from here.
How bad is AOL on honoring the TTL? This domain was updated last Thursday
and AOL
is not even displaying the correct page for the IP site. Does AOL 5.0
support name-based?
I thought it was using IE5?

So my name-based hosts' owners can find their sites before DNS propogates,
and so that users with really old browsers can do the same, here's what I
recommend to my dns customers (we run a dns business under <ns-one.net>):

Always run one IP-based site for the IP.  That site should go to a page
with hard links on it to all name-based sites.  Those links should be
symbolic directory links inside the directory pointed to by the IP-based
site.  This will always work.

The rest of the sites should be name-based.
