creating a website on ispconfig (domain.com) creates A records for hostname www and a forwarding (edit: co-domain) without hostname. i would like to create cnames, so that e.g. mail.domain.com gives the same result as www.domain.com gives. but: new cname, host 'mail' target 'www.domain.com' just shows up with the sharedip page. the dns entry in wikipedia tells, that cname lookups will be solved to ips, but if a server uses namebased virtualhosts, the cname is looked up as hostname. is it right that a cname directs to a different vhost than the target of the cname does? or is it just too simple for me to see?! thanks!
It might take up to 72 hours until DNS changes propagate, so you might have to wait a little bit longer. BTW, you cannot use CNAMEs for MX record (I'm writing this because you made mail.domain.com a CNAME record).
does it take up to 72 if i set my bind9 as nameserver of my client? i thought a simple /etc/bind9 restart could solve it... i wanted to create the cnames like done in the guide (http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_providerdomain_schlund) just for testing... addressing mail.domain.com in the browser should direct me to www.domain.de, or is that wrong?
in named.conf, the zonefile is set by: the pri.domain.com file looks that way: looks all default to me :-/
You need to have mail.domain.com in the ServerAlias line of the vhost: Code: ServerAlias domain.com mail.domain.com To do this, add a Co-Domain mail.domain.com to that web site in ISPConfig.
