Business thread-- Please help-- www & CNAME

[spacedog]

I have domain.com pointed via CNAME, however, this only works on domain.com , not www.domain.com , so, my question is, what do I need to do so that CNAME works on both?, or how can I redirect www to go to domain.com ?

setup your A record for both www.domain.com and domain.com

that wont work here because I'm not pointing to an ip

I am pointing to a named alias via CNAME & it works without the www, but not with & when I went to the admin of where I am pointing to, I changed domain to include the www. & now it works with the www. but not without?

okay, so now I have it reset for CNAME to work with www, since I think this is what the search engines will end up using, but still, without the www does not go to where I want it to....

sorry if thats off point, im having trouble understanding things right now.

domain.com.   IN   CNAME    domainparking.com.
www             IN   CNAME    domain.com.

domain.com.   IN   CNAME    domainparking.com.
www             IN   CNAME    domain.com.

that's what I originally thought was the solution, but the damn control panel at the registrar & host neither allow 2 settings, only one? This is beyond pissing me off...

Some hosts' control panels blow ass and you have to get their tech to set it up manually for you. And sometimes if you're sharing an IP they can be real bitches about shit like that.
