Right Carrie. Just like that.  You need two "a" records, one with the 
hostname (www) and one without (just the domain) and of course 
records for any other sites with other hostnames tagged to that 
domain.

One caveat: it was mentioned to me here on the list yesterday (I 
think it was Jim but if not my apologies) that the approach I 
described can cause problems with sites using Frontpage because of 
the way that program stores file for upload and editing. Since I 
don't use it at all and none of our clients do either, I'm not 
sensitive to that potential problem. But you should keep that in mind.

As for the Raq4, that's the first time I've ever seen a screenshot of 
it and I thank you for that. Unfortunately, as you can now surmise, I 
am an ignoramus when it comes to that machine so I can't tell you 
what the heck to put in those boxes! Maybe some of the others here 
will know. That GUI looks interesting though.

Good luck with these issues.

Alfredo
