| Post subject: | CNAME confusion |
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. There's a host out there called subdomain.bar.com I have a domain name foo.com authoritative here at Linode. I'm trying to CNAME web traffic headed to foo.com to subdomain.bar.com. Adding a CNAME for this results in invalid host error. Thought getting rid of the blank A record would allow it. Doesn't. Any thoughts? Thanks. |

SOooooooo much easier to troubleshoot when you DON'T hide PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION. If you want help fixing YOUR dns problems - post the actual info. |

You cannot create a CNAME when other records exist, and since the root of any particular zone needs to have an SOA and one or more NS records, a CNAME cannot exist at this level. |
