bind problem. domain.com doesn't resolve to domain.net

[bob808]

Hello people,

I have domain.net but I recently bought domain.com and want a redirect to domain.net when accessed via www ftp or mail.
I wish that when I access www.domain.com the browser should instant redirect me to www.domain.net. I want www.domain.com to be an alias for www.domain.net . I managed to set this up by defining domain.com as a separate zone with it's own settings, then modified index.html to redirect to www.domain.net but I don't like that, doesn't seem proffesional enough :)
So I tried a DNAME setting but still doesnt' work. Can't seem to find www.domain.com online on any service.

I will post my config:


/etc/bind/named.conf


options {
pid-file "/var/run/bind/run/named.pid";
directory "/etc/bind";
auth-nxdomain no;
/*
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
* directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked
* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
* port by default.
*/
// query-source address * port 53;
};

//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
zone "." {
type hint;
file "db.root";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "db.local";
};


zone "domain.com" {
type master;
file "pri.domain.com";
};
zone "domain.net" {
type master;
file "pri.domain.net";
};

zone "zzz.yyy.xxx.89.in-addr.arpa" {

};

I also set up as name server ns1.domain.net for domain.com at the company from witch I bought the domains.

It must be CNAME, not DNAME.

[bob808]

Are you sure? On some other forum someone said to me to put DNAME for a domain that I want to resolve to another domain. If i have example1.com and example2.com, how do I define both so each one ends up on the same page? Let's say I own yahoo.com ( :D ) and google, and I want when someone accesses www.google.com to automatically get on www.yahoo.com. How can I define that in bind without making 2 separate zone files with all the zone declarations (www,ftp,mail etc...) and redirect in index.html ?

[falko]

There's a DNAME record indeed (http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=19798 ), but I haven't worked with it so far.

I'd create a CNAME record:
www.google.com. CNAME www.yahoo.com.
and then add www.google.com as a ServerAlias to the www.yahoo.com vhost.

I second the CNAME, but he want's a redirect, not an alias. :)

Have a look at:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect

This way, the browser changes the address line.
