Hi,

Let's say I have a computer comp.mydomain.com in my local DNS. How do I
add an alias in the DNS files basically saying "comp" is the same as
"comp.mydomain.com"? I know I can put this in the /etc/hosts, but I
just can't get this to work with A and CNAME records!!! :(

Also, I want all names within xxxx.mydomain.com to be resolved by local
DNS. But I want www.mydomain.com to be resolved by external DNS. How
can I add this exception to my DNS table?

Thanks.

S
