There's two issues at play here.
*
1. DNS: I don't think you can CNAME a domain like that. For
example, you can't CNAME example.com but you can CNAME somehost.example.com. You
have to assign*your domain the*same A record as your other domain.
Bind should be spitting out errors if you try to CNAME like that. Check to make
sure that the domain is first resolving properly. I'd do something like "dig
@4.2.2.1 yourdomain.com".*I use*an outside DNS so that I can see what
results DNS servers are receiving when querying your server, assuming your
server is authoritative.
*
2. Virtual hosts: You need to modify your configuration of
apache to add the virtual host to be the same as the one you
have.
*
Without either, it won't work. If you're still stuck and
don't mind giving us your two domains, it'll be easier to determine whether it's
a virtual host issue or a DNS issue.

Subject: domain redirection how?
I want to redirect a domain:*
"somedomain.eu"
to:
"tothis.eu"
so I edit the "somedomain.eu.hosts" file with vim [appending this two
line to the end]:
$ORIGIN eu.
somedomain * * *IN * * *CNAME *
* * tothis.eu.
then I update the serial, save the file, quit, then:
rndc reload somedomain.eu
but it still doesn't work.
how could I redirect the domain with "$ORIGIN"?
do I have to enable something in apache [e.g.: enable the
redirection]?
both domain is mine [on this server]
versions:
apache * * * * * * * * *
* 1.3.34-4.1*
bind9 * * * * * * * * *
* *9.3.4-2etch3
os: Debian Etch
Thank you!
Or any docs/howtos
please?
domain redirection how?
