Re: [cobalt-users] Alias Email Address problem

[Keith Davis <cache@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem is only on a virtual domain. Your advice

mydomain.com -> 2121212121 
www.mydomain.com->2121212121
212121212121->mydomain.com

is contrary to the bold print in the manual that say to NEVER assign the
IP to one of the virtual sites because it will shut the DNS down.

However, I tried all the rest, and still no bananas...
