DNS lookups currently show: bio-world.com A 66.64.142.34 new.bio-world.com A 66.64.142.34 and no PTR records. Is this setup temporary pending you getting the new site on-line? Is your intention to eventually make new.bio-world.com point to your Apache server on 66.64.142.35? I do note that http://new.bio-world.com/ and http://bio-world.com/ serve two distinct web sites, the former just serving a reditection to http://66.64.142.35/, and the latter probably being the old version of http://66.64.142.35/ CNAME is short for Canonical Name. It basically allows you to create an alias. You cannot make a name an alias for an address. If I have understood you correctly, what you want to do is put a new site online being served by an Apache server at 66.64.142.35, accessed through the URL http://new.bio-world.com/. In that case you will need to modify the A-record for new.bio-world.com to (assuming $ORIGIN bio-world.com;) new IN A 66.64.142.35 and assuming $ORIGIN 142.64.66.in-addr.arpa., you want to have your provider, NuVox Communications, Greenville, SC 29061, set up a PTR record as follows: 35 IN PTR new.bio-world.com. WRT the Apache configuration, I would recommend setting "ServerName new.bio-world.com", and "UseCanonicalName On" if you have not already done that. Once this is done, maybe it will be time to address your original problem again. -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Michael [mailto:Michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 7:16 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Speed Here is the situation: DNS has entry of new CNAME bio-world.com bio-world is hosted at 66.64.142.34(IIS) and then there is redirection for new.bio-world.com to 66.64.142.35 where the new.bio-world.com apache. Somehow if i enter in DNS new CNAME 66.64.142.35 it doesnt work. I dont know why. You wont be able to access http://66.64.142.34 or http://66.64.142.34/bioworld because this different machine but you should be able to access wither http://66.64.142.35 http://66.64.142.35/bioworld I`m going to upgrade apache then try to set up the PTR --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
