DirectAdmin as DNS Server pointing somewhere else

[M3bik]

I have a dyndns type account with a random subdomain. I'm trying to point my domain to this subdomain using DirectAdmin as the DNS server for my domain, but I'm having some problems.


I can:

www.domain.com. -> CNAME -> my.dyndns.com.

but when I try:

domain.com. -> CNAME -> my.dyndns.com.

I get this:

Unable to save dns zone: named-checkzone returned:
loading "domain.com" from "/var/named/domain.com.db.temp" class "IN"
dns_master_load: /var/named/domain.com.db.temp:24: domain.com: CNAME and other data
zone domain.com/IN: loading master file /var/named/domain.com.db.temp: CNAME and other data


Is this not possible?

Because you cannot CNAME anything that has more then one record type. Root level tld's usually have alternate records such as MX which prevents this. You can only setup A record then.
