zonefile configuration

[Patrick, Robert]

Markus,

You would use a CNAME record for this purpose, not an A record.

CNAME = alias, handle this name as that name.

A = hostname, resolve this name to this IP address.

Ref: http://www.maradns.org/tutorial/man.csv2.html
"An A record stores an ipv4 address.
A CNAME record is a pointer to another host name."

Hi,

normally a A-enrty looks like this (csv2):

www.domain.com.     +3600   A       123.456.789.012

Is it possible to replace it to this because my webserver which hosts
more than one domain has no static IP.

www.domain.com.     +3600   A       myserver.dyndns.com

greetings, Markus.
