It didn't work for me I'm afraid.

I have abox with two virtual sites (yeah only two)


1.  site1.org.uk    works ok with DNS appearing to work ok

    site1.org.uk      A record      195.nn.nn.nn
    www.site1.org.uk   A record      195.nn.nn.nn
    mail.site1.org.uk  A record       195.nn.nn.nn
    site1.org.uk       MX  Mail sent high priority etc etc



2.   myarea.mychurch.org

     mychurch.org   is the parent domain and provides DNS services
     
     myarea.mychurch.org    is a site that I manage currently running on
     another box.  

I have created a new site on my RAQ4i and as and when I am ready to go live
I will ask mychurch.org to change its pointers.  So Far So Good.

However I have a site that I can't view

I tried putting in an alias in the site   myarea.mychurch.org     as
testbed.site1.org.uk  and putting in a new A record in the DNS for
testbed.site1.org.uk

at first it created a brand new Domain until I went back and made testbed
the domain name 

I still can't access my site - cant find it

Any ideas ladies and gents

Thanks and regards (oh and blessings0
