[users@httpd] I don't know its DNS or Apache Prob!
Hello All,
Sorry for such a post as i am not sure whether my problem is related to apache or bind.
I have a domain name abc.com the named database is also perfect with all cname NS MX and A records.
whenever i type mail.abc.com It gets Redirected to home page of someother domain xyz.com(The home page is of xyz.com but the url remains mail.abc.com) which is also hosted on the same server where abc.com is.
and its happening to all the domains that are hosted on the server. every mail.alldomain.com goes to the home page of the xyz.com.
I am so confused what has to done.
Rgds,
Tina

Are you using NameVirtualHost? If so, is there an entry like this:
NameVirtualHost ip.address.of.mail.abc.com
And so, the Virtual Host directive have these items:
<VirtualHost ip.address.of.mail.abc.com>
ServerAdmin webmaster@mail.abc.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/document/root
ServerName mail.abc.com
...
</VirtualHost>
OR
<VirtualHost ip.address.of.mail.abc.com>
ServerAdmin webmaster@mail.abc.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/document/root
ServerName abc.com
ServerAlias mail.abc.com
...
</VirtualHost>

Use the ServerAlias directive.
e.g. ServerAlias abc.com *.abc.com
then any request the will show mail.abc.com www.abc.com life.abc.com and any
other C or A record will point to the same website.
BTW, no need to add any records to the DNS, if the CN for the domain is the
same as the website address.
e.g. if abc.com is pointing to the same server that hosts the website and
there's no mail.abc.com, then all requests to that abc.com domain will be
pointed to the webserver.
All the best,
Jeff Cohen

Hello All,
Yes when i do nslookup mail.abc.com here what it returns
root@server [~]# nslookup mail.abc.com
Note: nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead. Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.
Server: xxx.xx.xx.226
Address: xxx.xx.xxx.226#53
mail.abc.com canonical name = abc.com.
Name: abc.com
Address: xxx.xx.xx.226
There is Virutalhost alias setup for abc.com. in my httpd.conf and even for
xyz.com, actually xyz.com is the first Entry for the Virtualhost in my
httpd.conf.
Rgds,
Tina.

If you try doing an nslookup or host on mail.abc.com does it return the
correct IP? Is there a virtual host alias set up for mail.abc.com or just
for abc.com. If you don't have the mail part it probably doesn't match the
abc.com and falls through to the default host, which is probably xyz.com
from what you're saying.

Eric
