For one of my virtual host domains I would like to be able to direct all web traffic to an outside server.
So any traffic to:
www.example.com or
example.com or
something.example.com
I would like to go to:
something.example.net
where example.net is a domain not managed by me on another server.
I still want ftp and mail services for the example.com domain to stay on my local server.
This is for a shopify store and the directions at shopify.com say to add a cname record to the DNS record for the example.com domain which I tried but when I do and try to restart bind it throws an error until I remove the record.
Their example says that if I want to redirect the traffic for the subdomin shop I would enter this record:
shop CNAME example.myshopify.com.
where example is changed of course the the shopify account name.
That causes an error.
shop is an existing subdomain for example.com that I created through Virtualmin
I am using CentOS 5.3 and BIND 9.3.4
The current record looks like this:
$ttl 20M
example.com. IN SOA ns1.example.org. hostmaster.example.org. (
2009060239
5M
1H
1W
20M )
@ IN NS ns1.example.org.
@ IN NS ns2.example.org.
example.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
www.example.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
ftp.example.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
localhost.example.com. IN A 127.0.0.1
mail.example.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx7
example.com. IN MX 5 mail.example.com.
example.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx a:example.com ip4:xx.xx.xx.xx ip4:xx.xx.xx.xx -all"
shop.example.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
www.shop.example.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
ftp.shop.example.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
m.shop.example.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
localhost.shop.example.com. IN A 127.0.0.1
webmail.shop.example.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
admin.shop.example.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
mail.shop.example.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
shop.example.com. IN MX 5 mail.shop.example.com.
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated
