Hello cobalt-users,

  Somehow I got roped into hosting the dns record but not the sites :(

  right now, http://heidebreicht.com goes to the main site of my virtual
  server and http://www.heidebreicht.com goes to the correct server.

  How can I get http://heidebreicht.com to go to the same place as the
  www name?

  Here is my current Zone Record
  http://heidebreicht.com goes to 209.15.182.23 and needs to go to
  nitra.chevydealer.com

#1 - Delete the domain, and recreate .. when you do that, give just the
domain name, no host name.

#2 - Do not use CNAMES, they suck.  Especially if your doing virtual
hosting.
Save yourself headaches, and pain, and just use regular pointers.  CNAMES
are good for like: ftp.domain.com irc.domain.com mail.domain.com stuff like
that, just not really good for virtual hosts (my opinion, and my opinion
alone).

You need to have a record like this:

heidebreicht.com.          IN      A       208.1.221.18


Thanks,

Brian
