Yes you can do this....

place an open "A" record after the zone info (just after the serials)
portion of your zonefile so it looks like this:

       A     192.168.1.1

This would go where you declare the NS & MX hosts for the zone. The
difference between this and a normal A record is that there is no host
declaration in the first column. It's a way to say that 'if no host is
specified in a query, then return this address'. So in a browser a user
might put something like this:

http://domain.net=20

and your DNS server would return 192.168.1.1

Hello,

I have a dns server called ns0.nameofserver.net
is it possible to redirect the address "nameofserver.net" somewhere
(without
anything before the word "nameofserver") ? If yes how do you do that ?

Thanks for help.
