"comp-protocols-dns-bind at moderators.uu.net".
Via a relay within uu.net!]

I don't understand why people want to do this.  This must be the
dozenth person who's asked this in the last week - which is why the
discussion hasn't made it to the archives yet.

In zone.cashkey.com:

@	IN A	IP.ad.dr.ess
www	IN CNAME	cashkey.com.
