Some registrars provide an easier way of connecting a domain to a website,
instead of setting up the name servers, you just enter a web page address.
Presumably the name servers are on the registrars box and they are then
doing a redirect.

So my question was, under such a scheme what would you need to do to make
the website work on the RAQ? To give an example, I have
www.davidhbolton.co.uk registered through easily (.co.uk) and it is
forwarded to www.codecraft.demon.co.uk
