Greetings, I am taking over the website for a client who is presently hosted on AWS. Part of how their DNS is setup presently is that they have an ALIAS record setup to point the @ record to a specific URL. Ive ran dig on it and its IP address changes pretty frequently. I thought it should be easy enough, I saw the "ALIAS" DNS type in the zone page. I tried adding it there, and was able to deduce that its adding it as a type CNAME. I know you can't use a CNAME on the root record type, so I'm left wondering how do I do this?? TIA, Tim PS Running on 3.0.5.4 p8
As far as I know, BIND does not have an Alias record, the alias on a BIND system is the CNAME record. I'm pretty sure that you can use BIND as a DNS server for a website hosted at AWS, you might want to google how the records should be setup as your customer seemed to have used a different kind of DNS server then like powerdns which has ALIAS records.
Ok, this might seem like an obvious question then. What is BND and can it be used in leui of BIND? I saw no reference to BND in this forum.
