DNS www prefix external DNS

[MaartenB]

Hi I have a domain that uses an external DNS.

I created the domain in plesk like: domain.nl
This works as it should, now I want to have the www.domain.nl to be also working.

How do I configure plesk and dns to get both the domain.nl and www.domain.nl working.

I tried to create a A record in the external dns for www.domain.nl and then point that to my server.
this works so far that the www.domain.nl request ends at my server, but it ends up at the default plesk site, and not at my domainsite. Ik seems that plesk/iis does not recognize my www.domain.nl.

Hope someone can help


Thanks in advance

Did you try to add CNAME www record as it is described here http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...uide/plesk-control-panel-user-guide/65185.htm ?

 

[MaartenB]

Within the dns settings in plesk I have one record a www.domain.nl cname domain.nl.

this doesn't work

 

[IgorG]

Do you have the same CNAME record on your external DNS server?

 

[MaartenB]

Yes, In my external dns I have the same record

 

[IgorG]

Check what your DNS server works correctly and there is CNAME record with

$ dig @IP_OF_DNS_SERVER yourdomain.com

 

[MaartenB]

How can I check that?

 

[IgorG]

In Unix Command Line Interface.

 

[MaartenB]

On windows?

I have no access to a unix machine

 

[IgorG]

You can use nslookup utility on Windows or use online services for DNS checking. For example http://centralops.net/co/DomainDossier.aspx

This is what I get from the lookup

Same here

IM TIRED OF IT.

All DNS are ok, exactly like MaartenB user.

I cannot get it working...

Outside DNS provide by REGISTRO.BR (Brazilian authority registrar).

[root@srv01 conf]# dig @200.160.0.11 www.live1.com.br

; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-16.P1.el5 <<>> @200.160.0.11 www.live1.com.br

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
live1.com.br. 86400 IN NS a.sec.dns.br.
live1.com.br. 86400 IN NS b.sec.dns.br.

So what now?

At plesk I've configured both DNS's a.sec.dns.br and b.sec.dns.br....

After query though plesk, it says:

Test DNS zone live1.com.br on a.sec.dns.br.
