Just put:

* IN CNAME sgblogs.com.

....this should work

I did as you said but my webhost manager replied with this message:

There were errors in the new zone, please press the back button an try again!

* 14400 IN CNAME sgblogs.com
*.sgblogs.com: CNAME and other data

I dont understand number: 14400 - what does suppose to mean in your zone file?

I have no clue either,
but the title of the field is TTL .

Hey guys... I saw your other post Femme, I'll deal with that in just a second... Here's some DNS for everyone's enjoyment. This is my main zone that i host most of my sites out of.

Code: Select all: $TTL 38400 @ IN SOA ns.bizzarx.com. bizzar.domain.net. ( 2003041501 10800 3600 432000 38400 ) IN NS ns.bizzarx.com. IN MX 10 mail.bizzarx.com. www IN A 68.81.98.210 something IN CNAME www

(For wildcard, take out www and something and only use * IN A IP.IP.IP.IP)

The $TTL = time to live. Every 38400 seconds, my dns will refresh. The main dns server is ns.bizzarx.com (i have a record for this in the zone for bizzarx.com, but I think you can put an IP in there.) Bizzar.domain.net is my email address. It doesn't work with @ symbols for email, so you have to use a dot. The string of numbers below the first line is my serial number for the dns zone. If i make changes, I have to increase this number otherwise when the world asks for my dns, it will think nothing has changed and continue to use the wrong one. The serial break down is (YYYYMMDDxx) Y=Year, M=Month, D=Day, and xx= number of times I've edited it that day (for example, 01, 02, 03, so on.)

Most of the other numbers won't change.

When you get to the IN CNAME, A stuff, this is what should be looked at each time you edit your dns. If you want wildcarded dns, all the dns for that DOMAIN will go to the IP address you specify.

It would read * (or you can do *.domain.com) IN A IP.IP.IP.IP

If your using a management software package (liky mydomain.com) then you need to take the other stuff out (clear out your dns, and only use *.domain.com and point it to your server's IP address).

Your largest problem sounds like too much confusing DNS. IF your domain serves the purpose of other things, you may need to reorganize how you do your website structure.

(BTW, i have an IP and my main dns server listed in this example, I could take it out, but I'm willing to trust everyone who comes to this site. If there are any hack attempts on it, you will be logged/reported and attacked back.) :lol:

Thanks Bizzar, I'll take a while to digest your reply

:shock:

If you are talking about DNS ;]

I will need soon secondary DNS for my domain ;[]
I can exchange my NS if someone wants...

by **femme** » Thu Apr 24, 2003 9:49 pm

Whats that?

by **Bizzar** » Fri Apr 25, 2003 8:30 pm

Most sites have secondary (backup) dns servers. It just simply replicates what your first one does. It can be useful in the event of a harddrive failure or network outage on your primary DNS.

I have multiple sites hosting my dns records so even if I lose 1, I still have people coming and going to my sites. however, if my primary goes down, then my web server goes down too and it doesn't matter.

I wouldn't trust someone to exchange dns records though.

by **Guest** » Fri Apr 25, 2003 9:20 pm

Bizzar why did you said that you wouldnt trust anyone>?

by **femme** » Mon Apr 28, 2003 1:07 am

GRRRRR
it stil doesnt work! and im not giving up

ive played around with the DNS zone

ive tried all of the following and none works:

*.sgblogs.com. in A 127.0.0.1
*.sgblogs.com. in A 202.91.41.250
*.sgblogs.com. in CNAME sgblogs.com.
*.sgblogs.com. in A sgblogs.com.
*.sgblogs.com. in CNAME 202.91.41.250

I really wonder what went wrong...
the redirection script works perfect though.

by **Bizzar** » Tue Apr 29, 2003 8:51 pm

I said I WOULD trust people who came here...

Femme... I ran a nslookup on sgblogs and here's what i got...

Code: Select all: Non-Authoritative answer: Name: sgblogs.com Address: 202.91.41.250

but when I ran a search on www.sgblogs.com, it came up timed-out. (couldn't find it.)

What does your zone look like?? You can email it to me if you want for review... Bizzar7@hotmail.com
