By putting an @ in you zone file referring to an A record or alias It will use the name of the domain. 

@ 	IN 	A 0.0.0.0
or 
@	IN	CNAME www
Both of they examples will work.

This is probably a bit of a newbie question, though here goes:

If you nslookup 'altavista.com,' you get back several IP addresses.
If you nslookup 'www.altavista.com,' it reports that this is an alias to
the canonical name 'altavista.com.'

So when you go to either altavista.com or www.altavista.com in a
browser, you get the same result.

If I have a web server currently at www.mydomain.ac.uk, how do I make it
accessible from mydomain.ac.uk also?

Thanks for your help
(and thanks for the replies to my previous post).

Iain
