- I'm doing the opposite.
-
- warren.mentorg.com is the name of the domain, and the name of a
- mail,news,etc hub. It has an alias (CNAME) sdl.warren.mentorg.com.
-
- bind 4.8.3 works fine with this. Am I really breaking the rules by
- having a SOA for warren.mentorg.com as well as "sdl.warren.mentorg.com
- IN CNAME warren.mentorg.com"?
