Re: Bind 9.2.1 question

[Mike Burger <mburger bubbanfriends org>]

Try either just "www" or "www.mydomain.com."

The problem is that if you're going to use a fully qualified domain name 
in your CNAME reference, you need to put a "." at the end of it.

Otherwise, BIND thinks you're trying to CNAME it to 
"www.mydomain.com.mydomain.com" which, I'm gathering, does not exist in 
your zone file.
