Domain with no 'A' Record
Hi,
I've successfully transferred my domains and am currently waiting for
the worlds nameservers to catch up. I've one question about DNS and in
particular how MTAs query a domain name before posting.
My domains all have CNAME aliases for 'www' pointing to my dynamic ip
(dyndns hostname). I have no A records as I have no static IP to point
them to.
Will this cause problems in the long run with MTAs? when I try to send a
n email to one of the domains I get this error:
Host or domain name not found. Name service error for
name=alasdaircampbell.com type=A: Host found but no data record of
requested type
Seems like it's failing because of the missing A record. But I can't see
any other way to have this setup. (Can't get static IP with current ISP).
best,
Alasdair
