Hello people, I have domain.net but I recently bought domain.com and want a redirect to domain.net when accessed via www ftp or mail. I wish that when I access www.domain.com the browser should instant redirect me to www.domain.net. I want www.domain.com to be an alias for www.domain.net . I managed to set this up by defining domain.com as a separate zone with it's own settings, then modified index.html to redirect to www.domain.net but I don't like that, doesn't seem proffesional enough So I tried a DNAME setting but still doesnt' work. Can't seem to find www.domain.com online on any service. I will post my config: /etc/bind/named.conf Code: options { pid-file "/var/run/bind/run/named.pid"; directory "/etc/bind"; auth-nxdomain no; /* * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source * directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked * questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged * port by default. */ // query-source address * port 53; }; // // a caching only nameserver config // zone "." { type hint; file "db.root"; }; zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "db.local"; }; zone "domain.com" { type master; file "pri.domain.com"; }; zone "domain.net" { type master; file "pri.domain.net"; }; //// MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! //// zone "zzz.yyy.xxx.89.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "rev.yyy.xxx.89.in-addr.arpa"; }; /et/bind/pri.domain.net Code: $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA ns1.domain.net. administrator.domain.net.

DNAME domain.net. ;;;; MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! ;;;; I also set up as name server ns1.domain.net for domain.com at the company from witch I bought the domains.
Are you sure? On some other forum someone said to me to put DNAME for a domain that I want to resolve to another domain. If i have example1.com and example2.com, how do I define both so each one ends up on the same page? Let's say I own yahoo.com ( ) and google, and I want when someone accesses www.google.com to automatically get on www.yahoo.com. How can I define that in bind without making 2 separate zone files with all the zone declarations (www,ftp,mail etc...) and redirect in index.html ?
There's a DNAME record indeed (http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=19798 ), but I haven't worked with it so far. I'd create a CNAME record: Code: www.google.com. CNAME www.yahoo.com. and then add www.google.com as a ServerAlias to the www.yahoo.com vhost.
I second the CNAME, but he want's a redirect, not an alias. Have a look at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect This way, the browser changes the address line. Paul
