We also had some difficulty at first with the URL record and solved it on a different way.<br>
<br>
Basicly we put 2 records, both an A and URL record like:<br>
<br>
<pre>www.yourdomain.com A 193.238.25.218 86400<br>www.yourdomain.com URL http://web.someisp.com/~myname/site 86400</pre>
The A record points to a webserver that listens on a dedicated IP. In
the webroot we placed and index.php scripts that looks for the
$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] string in the request. It then looks into the
powerdns mysql db for the URL record and does a " header("Location:
$destination"); " to redirect the user.<br>
