I've got 2 servers-one is a hosted server and the other one is a server hosted on my computer using DynDNS.
I've got one domain name: mydomain.com hosted on the hosted server on Apache
My dyndns hostname is: domain2.homedns.org
So the missing piece is to add the following CNAME:
mysite.mydomain.com CNAME domain2.homedns.org
I've tried to add this CNAME by logging into my Webmin CP, going to Servers > BIND DNS Server and selecting the zone file for mydomain.com. I've then added a Name Alias record with the name=mysite (this resolves to mysite.mydomain.com.) and real name=domain2.homedns.org. to that zone file.
I've gone ahead and clicked the Apply Zone link at the top and ensured no errors show up when I click the "Check Records" button. However, when I try to browse to mysite.mydomain.com, I get a server not found error.
I've implemented pretty much exactly the same thing for another domain hosted at MediaTemple using their CP and it works flawlessly-so it's not a problem with the way my DynDNS is set up. Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong here with the Webmin CP?
