Been rackin my brain on this oneI have a vhost in apache called host1.com it have a serveralias of www.host1.com. I used to use a DNS CNAME for the www.host1.com and then create another virtual host for that too. So i had 2 virtual host containers for almost every site seems a bit cleaner and more sensible to just omit the CNAME in DNS and add a serveralias in apache. This save me the bother of maintaining another entire virtual host container for each site. Is one more correct than the other they both seem to work ok but it is kinda confusing. Note host1.com and www.host1.com point to the same server and the same content all work well. Anyway here is my problem There is also another record in my DNS named mail.host1.com it points to a different vhost named www.mail.portal.org also on the same server. I am using www.mail.portal.org as a email portal for several sites so i added CNAMES to the DNS for these sites like so
mail.host1.com IN CNAME www.mail.portal.com this does not seem to work so i tried an A record mail.host1.com IN A 123.123.123.123this does not seem to work either apache seems to pick up the connection but it takes me to the first virtual host listed in the httpd.conf file host.com. I need apache to accept the connection and redirect me www.mail.portal.com. Why doenst this work i have a similar setup on a different server and i works fine with CNAMES could it be the serveralias thingy as i do not use it on the other server the one that works.
