I am seriously confused mainly because of the way it was explained in my training at work. Can someone please give me an explantion of the difference between creating a cname record and using a domain pointer? My understanding is that they both effectively do the same thing which is allow one ip address to be used for different domains.
Extra marks given for an easy to understand analogy as i'm definately a visual learner.
I have a domain hosted in a external pool of servers.I must set a dns record for www.domain.tld and domain.tld (without www). It must be done using cname.The www.domain.tld , works fine.
Ex:www.domain.tld IN CNAME xyz.otherdomain.tld.
But I am not able to set a DNS record for a root of domain.
Ex: domain.tld IN CNAME xyz.otherdomain.tld. neither domain.tld IN CNAME www.domain.tld.
The PPA didn't allow me.It say that the host field is mandatory.
I am simply wanting to map on mydomain.com to anotherdomain.com. So i setup a CNAME on mydomain.com. Once propagated mydomain is not being picked up and is defaulting to the cpanel successfully installed screen.
I have tried this on another of our servers and this does work.
So my question is: can you use a CNAME to map mydomain.com to anotherdomain.com without having to add the mydomain.com to the apache VirtualHost ServerAlias?
It does seem like you can as i have this working on one server - is there an apache setting somewhere to block this?
I'd like to know how I can use DNS to do something like make a CNAME record that points the same address to different addresses based on the port used.
mail.example.org on port 80 points to ghs.google.com mail.example.org on port 995 points to pop.gmail.com mail.example.org on port 587 poitns to smtp.gmail.com
We have Livezilla tracking on our site, and saw some suspicious activity this afternoon from the Netherlands, about 5 connections from the same IP address, they now appear to have put in a cname record/copied our site for http://wiiee.nl/design.html to our site. Does anyone know what they're doing/trying to do?
The Non-Profit I work for uses IXWebhosting for our webhost and to manage email accounts. For the past 2 months whenever we send emails to anyone @baaqmd.gov, we receive CNAME bounceback errors. I have contacted IXWebhosting and they say that their DNS server's aren't registering baaqmd.gov and that I need to contact baaqmd.gov. Well I've been in constant contact with baaqmd.gov's IT guy and they are receiving emails just fine from outside agencies. In fact, when I send a test email using GMAIL to baaqmd.gov, they receive it just fine.
To further confuse me, we receive emails fine from BAAQMD.gov.
I am trying to change the cname through a batch.. It is successfully done for English language but I want to use Arabic language. When I am using Arabic it appear like this "????".
When I create a CNAME record for domain, and then trying to load it, it goes to default website. It was working fine before, all old CNAME records are working fine.
Tried reconfigure-all but it doesn't fix the problem. I'm using 11.5.30 Update #44
i have a simple reseller account to give my clients some hosting space. one specific client keeps the domain registered with his current domain registrar. to point the domain name at his new hosting account (provided by me) he's saying that he just needs the "a-record", not the nameservers that i gave him originally. i can not seem to find an a-record for my hosting accounts anywhere ...
my hosting support is saying the client will just need the IP address. but afaik ip address is not == a-record
can anyone clarify what an a-record is exactly and whether or not it can be interchanged with an ip address?
this is for a .co.uk domain name and my reseller account is with hostgator
Common scenario; email sent from our server to Yahoo does not arrive. It is so bad that we have a 23% order completion rate for Yahoo users. To compare, Gmail is 83%.
We send emails to confirm registration, and also to remind users to complete their invoices.
Our setup is like so:
User registers at registration.domain.com, a different server to domain.com.
Upon registering an email is sent to the user using the registration.domain.com web server but with a from address of info@domain.com
Our info@domain.com email address is hooked up to Google Apps as this is who we use to manage our inbox.
how to construct our SPF records? I am slightly confused as we have a mail server, a different reply to domain and MX records with Google..
I would like to setup SPF record for my domain. I am using Google Apps for the domain.
But I will also be sending mail from my vps server. Hence what should I use?
Quote:
v=spf1 a include:aspmx.googlemail.com ~all
or
Quote:
v=spf1 a mx ~all
If both works, which one is better? I will be sending emails from subdomains of my main site too, so do I need to anything special for that?
I am using ~all instead of -all, because I sometimes send emails from my development server(which is having dynamic ip). Hence I don't want those emails to rejected, even if they are marked as spam.[url]
I need to update the TTL for the domain as i will need to migrate it to another IP. In my DNS record, there is a domain level TTL and also a record level (MX, A, CNAME) TTL. Which one should i change?
If my SPF record would be the following: domain.com. 14400 IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:78.129.143.155 a mx a:.mail.saunalahti.fi -all"
Would mail sent from whatever@domain.com get sent through gw01.mail.saunalahti.fi (Would the SPF record allow it?) or would I have to specify a:gw01.mail.saunalahti.fi in the SPF record?
Here is my SPF record, but sending email I get this in the header
@ 86400 IN txt v=spf1 a mx ptr ~all
Received-SPF: neutral (google.com: 75.126.62.147 is neither permitted nor denied by domain of gr******ardt@gmail.com) client-ip=75.126.62.147; Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=neutral (google.com: 75.126.62.147 is neither permitted nor denied by domain of gr******ardt@gmail.com) smtp.mail=gr******ardt@gmail.com
Is there such thing as a "SSH recorder?".. someone I paid $200 for there SSH recorder ended up being a load of BULL.. it didn't do anything.. the guy scammed me..
how to add an SPF record to my web hosting company's domain? The thing I'm scared of is blocking or messing up what works fine now.
My server (say myhostingcompany.com) is a mix of all kinds of services, some customers send mail through my server, some through they're ISP (so they're domain's DNS is with me) and all kinds of strange things.
Which file do I need to open on a Unix server to add a PTR record? Sorry, I'm clueless about DNS but I think if I could find the file, I can add the PTR record by piecing together what I've found through searching the Internet.
