<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN

belonging to another domain all resolves fine as long as the "other" domain is
served by the same server. E.g.:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P>Yes, when it starts in the monitor mode it connects to the mysql
server. Also, I can resolve any of my A records, just not the CNAME
record which is formatted as I provided earlier.<BR><BR>
