Help: setting a CNAME record for the domain

[Tal Dayan]

Hello,

We are suing named 8.1.1 on Redhat 6.2

We try to set in the zone file of the domain 'teiko.com' the following CNAME
record:

teiko.com.     CNAME   teiko.ontero.net.

but get the error:

teiko.com has CNAME and other data (invalid)
Feb 24 21:32:51 dns1 named[2967]: zones/friends/teiko.com:47:teiko.com:
CNAME and OTHER da
ta error

When we change the CNAME record to an A record:

teiko.com.      A       205.162.50.66

It works just fine. Are we doing anything wrong ?

Since logically the record as an alias, we prefer to have a CNAME rather
than
A record.

Thanks,

Tal
