    Default DNS Issue when adding a subdomain

    Greetings!

    Whenever someone adds a subdomain via cPanel, an A entry is added instead of a CNAME entry. I looked through the template files but was unsure what to change so future subdomains are added with a CNAME entry. Could someone tell me where to make the change?

    Thanks,
    Jay

    I would delete the primary domain and then re addit - sounds like the DNS Records are all ****************ed up.

    I checked the results on another cpanel box of mine and it too added an A record when I created a new subdomain. Is this the correct way of doing this? It doesn't make sense to me to point a subdomain to an IP (A record), especially if there are multiple sites on the same box. Wouldn't setting it up as a CNAME entry work better?

    Thanks.
