I am hosting my site on my own dial-up connection, with an IP address
that changes every time I dial up. I have used dyndns.org dynamic dns
as a domain, but I want to use my own domain name. Using Granite
Canyon, I have done this
*.example.com. IN CNAME example.dyndns.org. ; EXTREF GLOBALOK
This allows me to redirect my domain name to my dyndns account, which
I can easily update quickly.
However, because of the '*' in my RR, www.example.com or
test.example.com will both work, but not example.com
If I try to leave out the *, like this
example.com. IN CNAME example.dyndns.org. ; EXTREF GLOBALOK
I get an error from Granite Canyon saying
"nscheck: zone may not be redefined with a CNAME"
Since I don't have a static IP address, I can't use
example.com. IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
which is what one would normally do.
Any ideas, other than not to use example.com, and just use
www.example.com?
Thanks
