Re: [cobalt-users] DNS not on my server but site is

----- Original Message -----

Hi All,

Hopefully a simple one and I'll try and keep it to bullet points:

RAQ4
Customer uses Easynet for ISP
Domain name shows on Easynet's nameservers
Web site is hosted on a box somewhere else
I guess Easynet just redirect http requests to this other box
Easynet handle all the e-mail for the domain

I may be off track but I guess they would set up an a record to point
to my
IP address.  I would then set up the site as normal with a records for
www.domain.com and domain.com but _not_ mail.domain.com through the
GUI.  I
guess I would then not need to set up mx records for the domain.
Would I
need to set up anything else or just the a records?

Does any of this make sense?  Any help would be much appreciated.

How about putting the site in a subdirectory of one of your existing
sites, eg your home one, and then uploading a little HTML frameset
onto the Easynet server to redirect the browser to your server?

Eg upload the following to the site on Easynet and call it index.html
(or index.htm or default.htm depending on that server - or just have
all of them with the same contents):

<html><head><title>Title of the site</title></head>
<frameset cols="100%,*" border="0" frameborder="0"><frame
name="content"
src=http://your-domain-on-RaQ/your-subdirectory-containing-customer-si
te/index.html" noresize scrolling="auto">
<frame name="dummy" src="dummy.htm" noresize scrolling="no">
</frameset><body></body></html>

Hope this helps and I haven't failed to understand the problem fully
