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:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<pre><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>www.yourdomain.com A 193.238.25.218 86400<br>
www.yourdomain.com URL http://web.someisp.com/~myname/site 86400<o:p></o:p></span></font></pre>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Tahoma'>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>

Forwarding<br>
<br>
<br>
<!-- -->We finally made the move from Windows PowerDNS to Linux PowerDNS and we
are<br>
extremely happy. No problems so far after 5 days. Everything working as<br>
expected.<br>
<br>
We have tried to use FancyRecords for domain forwarding but cannot get it to<br>
work. We set urlredirector to point to a live DNS server and still no luck.<br>
<br>
Can anyone help us in using FancyRecords? Or better yet, what would be the<br>
correct way to forward a domain name to another domain name?<br>
<br>
www.domainname.com goes to www.newdomain.com<br>
<br>
Any help is greatly appreciated.<br>
