Help DNS

[virmix]

I need help with this:

Domain: my-domain.com
DNS:

cpanel A IP
www A IP
FTP IP

This is normal, I want to create this:

lnx CNAME www

The system accepts me, but shows no content to display if public_hmtl entered www.

www.my-domain.com to lnx.my-domain.com (I and want to show the same)

That is, is like creating a subdomain and point to the folder but using the DNS.

How can I do?

Why not you try this?

lnx IN CNAME www.my-domain.com.

It will help to know more about how you're needing the sub-domain to function; for example, are any of the following similar to your requirements?

1.) Are you needing the sub-domain to show the same web site as the parent domain of the zone?
2.) Are you needing the sub-domain to show the same web site as and also redirect to the parent domain of the zone?
3.) Are you needing the sub-domain to show a different web site than the parent domain of the zone, such as a site in a unique sub-directory made just for the sub-domain?

Only I need that the main subdomain "www" will be the same of subdomain "lnx"

www.my-domain.com is the same of lnx.my-domain.com or www.lnx.my-domain.com

But only with DNS not using the subdomain redirection. I need something like domain alias.

Why I need this method :


I have a Linux server with CPANEL and other server with Windows

I want 2 subdomain.

- lnx.my-domain.com point to Linux Server
- win.my-domain.com point to Windows Server

And the subdomain "www" point when I want to "lnx" or "win"

How do it this?

Try this,

Record with A
lnx IN A [Linux IP]
win IN A [Windows IP]
www IN CNAME lnx.my-domain.com. (include the last dot)

OR

Record with CNAME
lnx IN CNAME [Linux Host]
win IN CNAME [Windows Host]
www IN CNAME lnx.my-domain.com. (include the last dot)
