[NTLUG:Discuss] dns question - how to assign an address to foo.com

[David Camm]

i need to add an address record to an existing domain so that the domain
name without a higher level qualifier points to an IP.  i.e. foo.com
needs to point to 123.234.123.4

www.foo.com has a different IP address.

i don't believe that a record in the db file like:

     IN A 123.234.123.4

would work. 

the DNS/Bind book is no help - BUT, i get the feeling that:

foo.com. IN SOA ........

@   IN A 123.234.123.4
www IN A 234.123.234.6 

would work. 

am i correct, or is there another method?

thanks.
