cname question

[mufka]

I want to add a CNAME record pointing domain1.com to domain2.com. I can do it for records like

http://www.domain1.com

but just domain.com does not work. I get an error in the log stating
Feb 16 11:50:51 server named[560]: domain1.com has CNAME and other data (invalid)
Feb 16 11:50:51 server named[560]: domain1.com:26:domain1.com: CNAME and OTHER data error
Feb 16 11:50:51 server named[560]: master zone "domain1.com" (IN) rejected due to errors (serial 2005021629)


The record looks like:
domain1.com. IN CNAME domain2.com

Is this just not possible?

You must have other data for domain1.com in the zone file.

If you have a CNAME entry, make sure that it is the ONLY resource record for that domain. For example, if you have "

http://www.mydomain.com

CNAME sparky.mydomain.com", you must not have any A records, MX records, etc. for "

http://www.mydomain.com".

[RFC1034 3.6.2] [RFC1912 2.4]

there are no other records in the zone file. No MX record or any other A records. Just a CNAME for domain1.com

Can you post the complete zone file?

Chris.
