Very Computer

Hi!

I've install Apache Web server on my machine.

Instead of my real hostname I want www. prefix to appear, like this:

www.worldbank.org.ge

(in other words, I want to define alias)

Can anyone help me to configure Solaris DNS properly?

Thanks, Temuri

        wow. i can't believe the the world bank's MIS can't add a cname.
oh well. anyway, you need to define a CNAME in the name database. i am
unsure of where you put it, but there is a line like this, assuming
the real machine name is wahoo and the ip is 11.22.33.44.

wahoo   IN  A 11.22.33.44

        then add a line like this. it will create a canonical name for
wahoo called www.

www     IN  CNAME wahoo

        hope this helps! feel free to emai/post if you need more help.
