DNS pointer

[pesz1]

Hello;
This was probably answered before and I apologize...

I set up a domain using directadmin and everythign worked fine. I need to now redirect that domain to a windows 2003 server. All I want to do is update the dns entry in DirectAdmin to point to the new server but it doesnt seem to be working. Any thoughts?

Thanks again!

Hello,

You'd go to:
User Level -> DNS Administration (Assuming you have access to it).

For the webhosting aspect, you'd want to change the:

domain.com. A 1.2.3.4
www A 1.2.3.4

records.. and swap them with the same ones using your other IP address. Remember to add the "dot" (.) at the end of a domain entry if you don't want to have named append the domain to it. The 'www' record doesn't have a dot, so named will convert it to www.domain.com internally.

Past that, restart named to make sure your changes "took". (should be done automatically for you)
