[cobalt-users] [RaQ550] DNS config: Domain accessible without www

["Robert Roose" <robertr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hiya,

I've been trying to make my domains accessible even without the www in
front of it. Normally when I want to do this I just make an extra A
record with the domain name and point it to the same IP coz my virtual
host has an alias.

But on the 550 when I create an A record without www in front of it it
gives me the following error:

"An identical domain name record already exists"

WTF?? Ping to domain.nl gives no reply and no IP ping www.domain.nl
gives me a reply. 

My conclusion is that I need to make it an A record but the
administration page won't let me.

I'll paste one of the zone files here.
