[Pdns-users] Domain Forwarding

[Parava Networks]

Nico,

 

We have something similar, but we don't use the URL record, just the A
record. Domain is directed to the IP address and index file checks Header.
Then checks against a DB for URL to forward to.

 

We are actually looking for a way to do it directly from PowerDNS to the
forwarded URL, without having to go to an index page on a different server.

 

Can this be done?

 

Thank you.

 

Patricio Valdes

We also had some difficulty at first with the URL record and solved it on a
different way.

Basicly we put 2 records, both an A and URL record like:

www.yourdomain.com     A       193.238.25.218                        86400


www.yourdomain.com     URL     http://web.someisp.com/~myname/site   86400

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.

Regards,

We finally made the move from Windows PowerDNS to Linux PowerDNS and we are
extremely happy. No problems so far after 5 days. Everything working as
expected.

We have tried to use FancyRecords for domain forwarding but cannot get it to
work. We set urlredirector to point to a live DNS server and still no luck.

Can anyone help us in using FancyRecords? Or better yet, what would be the
correct way to forward a domain name to another domain name?

www.domainname.com goes to www.newdomain.com

Any help is greatly appreciated.
