CNAME Or A Record In DNS Zone?
Jan 14, 2008
i have just created a dns ZONE for my domain, but i dont know what to use for ftp service.
i looked up in cpanel dns zone records for the domain i created and it looks like this... i am confused what to use CNAME or A record for an FTP entry
ftp 14400 IN A <IP> (for sites on shared IP)
ftp 14400 CNAME domain.com. (for sites with dedicated ip)
what is the difference? what if i change to
ftp 14400 IN CNAME domain.com. (for sites on shared IP)
ftp 14400 A <IP> (for sites with dedicated ip)
Also, how many A records i can place in zone file?

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.

Just a quick question, can i setup a cname to redirect user to a URL instead of domain.... like
mail.thedomain.com.incnamemail.google.com/a/thedomain.com
I have to do this on Windows server with IIS so i can't use mod_rewrite etc!

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?
Thanks in advance!

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

Let's say I buy my domains from godaddy and have the DNS records pointed to the shared host.
From there, the shared host creates your CNAME records, or whatever you want to add to your domain name.
What happens if I wanted to control the CNAME records? Can I do this from godaddy? If so, how? Are there negatives to this method?

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.

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]

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?

Currently we use a short SPF record that is inserted to the customers DNS file when the account is created....
"v=spf1 a mx ~all"
I was wondering do you guys/gals have a standard SPF record, one that is tested and works or do you think the above entry is sufficent?

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.
How can I add a "risk free" SPF record?

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.

Here are the scenarios :
1. This Dedicated Server don't have main domain name but I use something like hostname.domain.com for the hostname.
2. The nameservers I use are something like ns21.domain.com and ns22.domain.com which I registered it already on my domain registrar.
3. Domain.com is use on other Dedicated server
Are these kind of setup okay? or should I really changed the hostname.domain.com to something else that is hosted on the same server?
