I am trying to set up a site. the page is hosted by geocitys, i have a
redirect set to go to that page at mysite.redirectme.net. now the dns
hosting service uses a horrible utility to edit your zone file. what i
am trying to do is have the www.mysite.com point to
mysite.redirectme.net

the zonefile their program genorated for me is:
$TTL 1d
@    IN   SOA  feed19.nameservers.net. hostmaster.rapidsite.net.  (
		2003112115
		7200
		3600
		604800
		86400 )
mysite.com.                IN   CNAME  mysite.redirectme.net.
www.mysite.com.            IN   CNAME  mysite.redirectme.net.
admin.mysite.com.          IN   A      161.58.134.166
mysite.com.                IN   NS     ns19a.nameservers.net.
mysite.com.                IN   NS     ns19b.nameservers.net.
mysite.com.                IN   MX     50 mail-fwd.dulles19-verio.com.
www.mysite.com.            IN   MX     50 mail-fwd.dulles19-verio.com.
mysite.com.                IN   A      161.58.134.166
ftp.mysite.com.            IN   A      161.58.134.166
www.mysite.com.            IN   A      161.58.134.166
smtp.mysite.com.           IN   A      161.58.134.166
webmail.mysite.com.        IN   A      161.58.134.166

will this work at all because of the doubble entry, I can not directly
edit anything after admin. but i can replace the A values.

any ideas, I am a first year comp engenering student with very little
exprence, so please keep it simple.


thank you everyone for your help.
