A record of domain name must be name server ?

[Pete Fong]

Hi,

xxx.com and IP address 192.168.1.100 is just a example domain name and IP
address. Our boss want everybody access our domain example.com through
browser, then it will redirect to our web site www.example.com. So I want
to get more information about unexpected impact when we changed DNS records.

Thanks for your help.

Best Regards,
Pete Fong
