    isc.org/bind ... the bind manual should be a good place to start

    you might check out the dns rfc as well

    thanks for soon reply

    i want mydomain.com be a url frame of domain2.com .
    and ftp.mydomain.com should point to ftp.domain2.com .
    so i have cname record for mydomain.com to be forwarded to domain2.com and also A type record for ftp.mydomain.com to be forwarded to domain2.com ip address.
    it seems that it should work , and it does not :)

    An \"A\" record points a hostname toward an IP address. A \"CNAME\" record points a hostname towards an already resolvable hostname elsewhere (or perhaps designated within your nameserver on the same box)....

    Check out the usage for \"CNAME\" entries in a zone file, use the documentation above or get DNS & Bind from O\'Reilly
    (www.amazon.com) There is an insect on the cover, I swear.

    ;)

    ok,
    I will buy that insect with his book :D
    by this time, i have domain number1 and number2 . domain number 2 is not in my server . i want domain number1 which is on my server has the exact same function as domain number2 .
    i mean ftp. looking,... every thing.
    so i just assigned A record for ftp and it is working fine.
    but what should i put in WHM edit zone to see domain2 when i am going to domain1.com?

    You\'ll need the webserver configuration to handle this.... and or a redirect in the index of the site in question.

    (META REFRESH tag)
    .... as far as I know bind can not do a completely redirect of a service name that you are attempting.
