Need to setup 20-30 domains to forward to offsite URL

[RandyL712]

One of my customers had me register a bunch of new domain names, and they'll all just go right to a website that I DON'T host.

What's the fastest and easiest way to set up these domains on my server so that they just jump right to this other website?

[awsol]

Set them all up and in every public_html folder put a redirecting index.html ORRRRRRR

In every zone file point it to the IP address of the other site.

Your choice but either will work.

[RandyL712]

Your first option is what I've done in the past and what I'm trying to avoid

In the 2nd option - still need to ADD them in WHM? Or can I just add a zone record for each domain?

[awsol]

You should create the accounts and then edit the dns zones. Just the safest way to go.

[RandyL712]

I'm asking if there are OTHER solutions

[awsol]

Really there isn't to be honest. You need to create a seperate zone for every domain.

[RandyL712]

Can't I just "Add a DNS Zone" ? Or "Park or Point a Domain" ?

[awsol]

Yes you can but then you still need to edit the dns zones.

[RandyL712]

Anyone else have a possible solution here?

[dgbaker]

You have been given the best solution. There is no other way, no matter what you do the zone files have to be editted.

[awsol]

Yes there really is nothing you can do. I told you the best solutions if you don't want the proper advice why ask?

[RandyL712]

lol, you act like it's impossible that there's a solution you're not aware of? I always like to get 2nd opinions

[RandyL712]

Okay - thanks

[awsol]

See there's your 3rd opinion

[RandyL712]

I've added the domain's DNS zone, and changed the www CNAME to the new domain name, it's not working.
