Original:
> I have a Sparc 5 running Solaris 2.4 as a name server. I need that www.biblioteca.cbpf.br be seen also as www.library.cbpf.br. So I tried CNAME as follows:
>
> $origin cbpf.br.

> www.biblioteca IN A 152.84.250.33
> IN CNAME www.library
>
> It didn't work.

Right Answer is:

You should define the canonical name like this:

www.biblioteca IN A 152.84.250.33
www.library IN CNAME www.biblioteca

So the form is:

<canonical host name> IN CNAME <real host name>

This one I got from Michel Pilon, but almost everybody sent the same answer. It's working now. Thank you all!

Luciana.
