[CLUE-Tech] DNS Question

[Dave Hahn]

Instead of a blacnk, use an at sign ( @ ).  An @ in the zone file refers to 
the ORIGIN of the record, in this case miah.org.  So,

         @ = miah.org
         www = www.miah.org
         larry = larry.miah.org

Assuming the beginning of the file is setup correctly.  Feel free to 
forward me a copy of the file if you would like me to take a look at it.
