That's fine <smile>.  I always put in A records for both; they're in the
same place in the zone files, so I can change them quickly (if I need to
change one I normally need to change the other, and I don't use the
Cobalt gui interface for DNS) and when both have A records DNS saves a
lookup when people look up www.domain.com and not domain.com (which is
what most people usually do, when they type into their browser).  It
just saves a DNS lookup.  When you're hosting DNS for as many clients as
we do, that may be an issue <smile>.
