| but this is a rather complicated way to achieve what you can do in your
| DNS zone file with one entry:
|
| If your website is www.yahoo.com in your yahoo.com zone file you will have
|
|
| www		A	216.109.117.107
|
| to make sure that unqualified queries (IE just the domain name) go to the
| same place just add an entry
|
| @		A	216.109.117.107
|
| The @ sign just means repeat the domain name.

I prefer the DNS method.

Only my ISP did not ask me :)
