Okay...I know this is not strictly a Linux question, but then again
neither is why you have to have a CNE to make a hole in a wall :)
(At least our DNS is running on Linux :)
We are getting ready to change domain names, but we want to keep the
old one active for a while. Is there any special magic required to get
DNS to serve both? What I have done is:
Put an entry for both domains in /etc/named.boot, each pointing to a
seperate file with the names for that particular domain.
In all the reverse lookup files, I have set it up so that they
only point to one of the domains.
What I've found with nslookup (which is what I expected) is:
- When I enter www.domain1 or www.domain2, I get the same IP.
- When I enter the IP for the above, I get the www.domain1, which
is the domain I have in all the reverse-lookup files.
Am I missing anything? Is this setup going to cause any trouble?
Thanks!!! Paranoidly,
-Dan

pencil and paper...at least it works.
