Fine, a whole load of ashes on my head.
Nonetheless, the point stays, that, if a second level domain
has only one host, there is no need to create computer names
within. Nor any standard asking that, if you run a specific
service, you have to add names.
So, why do they tell their servers only to react
onto the subdomain
www. ?
Hans, learn the difference between a (Full Qualified) Host Name and a
Domain Name. mydomain.tld is a subdomain. It _may_ have an A record with
an IP address also, but usually it is only a domain with no IP address
associated. Where www.mydomain.tld is a FQDN leading to an A record with
an IP address or an CNAME alias. IP numbers refer to hosts (FQDN) and
vice versa. Hosts are the leaves in the hierarchical DNS name space
tree, where domains are branches in the name space. Services run on
hosts so myserver.mydomain.tld is the correct way. p.s. Zum Gl?ck kennst du ja meine spezielle Art der
Freundlichkeit. ;-)
Klar, warum glaubst Du kommen wir miteinander zurecht?
Gruss
H.
