Under the DNS manager, there are a number of hostnames that I need to change the IP address for. Is there anyway to state that all hostnames use 1 IP address instead of having all of my different hostnames with declaring each one an individual IP? Kind of hard to explain I think. For hostname, can I put something like @ instead of the actual hostname so all hostnames of a domain will use that single IP?
I guess hardly anything of mine has an A record anymore. This one looks all messed up. Code: [tristan@tristan ~]$ dig forums.plastikracing.net ; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> forums.plastikracing.net ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 40272 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;forums.plastikracing.net.

If I try to add an A record for the plastikracing.net domain under the DNS Manager, I type forums for the hostname and 24.97.42.77 for the IP and it gives me this error: Code: There is already an A Record entry for this host in this zone. There are no records listed for that domain under ISPconfig so I'm not sure what it means by a record existing. I checked the Recycle Bin and it's completely empty. When I use "dig" on my websites, I get no answer section. What the heck? Why can't I do anything with my sites? I really need to get these things up and running as they are pretty important.
I guess my freaking out solved my problem. I just went into the ISPconfig database, the dns_a table and deleted the "existing" entries, went back to my sites and saved them and it added the records. Everything seems to be working now.
