Hi Steve, I think I mis-read what [EMAIL PROTECTED] asked about host name and domain name and may have confused you too. Sorry.
Palmetto is the host name which is running dynamic dns through dyndns.org. The dnsalias.net is one of their domain names. I can send and receive mail fine using mail.palmetto.dnsalias.net. The palmettoshopper.com domain is mine but I'm using dyndns.org to update the dynamic address I get from my ISP about every 15 days or so. I can also send and receive mail from this address. Both domains are located on the same server. From a pc inside the network, I can access either website but on the server itself, I can only reach http://palmetto.dnsalias.net via http://localhost. The palmettoshopper.com just times out. Of course, from the internet, there is no problem reaching either. The hostname is set as palmetto.dnsalias.net in /etc/HOSTNAME. It would seem, that using nameservers from either my ISP's or dyndns', that it should resolve back to itself, if not internally, externaly.

In your first post you loaded dnsalias.net as a > zone(domain name), but the SOA refered to > palmetto.dnsalias.net as a zone ( a delegated domain name). > Meaning all A records would be relative to the domain name > specifed. i.e. > www.palmetto.dnsalias.net I think your confusing a host name (Fully qualified domain name) with a domain name (a zone).
