[cobalt-users] OT: How does a DNS Pointer work?

[Jason Gottschalk <Jason@xxxxxxx>]

Hello cobalt-users,

I want to have two domain names go to the same site.
the .org site is up and running, I want the .com name to go to the
same place.

The problem I see is that the .org is a virtual domain and my cobalt
Raq 4i is hosting multiple domains on one IP address.

If I simply setup a new zone record like the others, the cobalt will
think it is another site but won't find it.

I think I need the .com to point to the .org without any reference to
the ip address at all.

My zone record template looks like this:

$TTL 86400
$ORIGIN yourdomain.com.
@       IN      SOA     ns.hosting4u.net. jason.syo.com. (
                                2003010700              ; Serial
                                10800           ; Refresh, seconds
                                3600            ; Retry, seconds
                                604800          ; Expire, seconds
                                86400)          ; Minimum TTL, seconds
                IN      NS      ns.hosting4u.net.
                IN      NS      ns2.hosting4u.net.
                IN      MX      10 mail.yourdomain.com.
                IN      A       your.ip.address
$ORIGIN yourdomain.com.
mail            IN      A       your.ip.address
smtp            IN      A       your.ip.address
www             IN      A       your.ip.address
ftp             IN      A       your.ip.address
*               IN      A       your.ip.address

  

I think a CName might work, but I read here in another post, that it
is good to avoid CNames all costs.

What can I do?
