    I want to have an Alias of iwww for the default internal webserver.  I have the following setup in the DualServer.ini file but its not working what am I doing wrong.

    [STATIC-HOSTS]
    #This is where hosts (CNAMES) and their
    #IPs needs to be specified
    #DNS will resolve as per
    #entries here, in addition to
    #DHCP alotted addresses.
    #Bare names automatically
    #assume local domainname.
    #however hosts here need not be local
    #MX and alias needs to
    #be given in respected sections
    #no alias in this section
    #www entry can be put here
    #for default web server of domain
    xxxx.net=192.168.0.240

    [ALIASES]
    #These are alias names
    #ALIAS should be bare name
    #while CNAME can be local or FQDN,
    #pointing anywhere in the world
    #This server will resolve them
    #ensure CNAME in right of
    #= and ALIAS is on left
    #in form ALIAS=CNAME
    iwww=xxxx.net

      goto any linux client and put following command
      $host iwww
      you will see result
      iwww.domainname is an alias for xxxx.net
      xxxx.net has address 192.168.0.240

      However if you want above results from following query:-
      $host domainname

      you need to also set
      www=192.168.0.240
      in [static-hosts] section
      this should work
      write back if not working
      thanks

      Alternatively, just addd www=iwwww in [ALIASES] section without changing your entries.

      It apperats the alias is looking for a iwww.xxx where xxx is net or com or something.

      Anyway i can get around this with adding a .net to the end so no reall problem.
