DNS newbie basic question

currently my server host domain www.ABCD.com, i want to add new domain www.ABCDEF.com but using the same hosting account/code existing at www.ABCD.com. I am running the name servers on the same machine. What should i do? Thanks.

Greetings,
Are you running a control panel? If so, you can use the add-on domain feature.

Yes, Hostire is right. This is made possible by a wonderful thing called "Shared IPs".http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_web_hosting_servicehttp://webhosting.devshed.com/c/a/We...tic-vs-Shared/http://www.100best-free-web-space.co...resses-44.html
I sincerely hope this helps!

If you don't have a control panel you'd simply add a new zone for the new domain.
I've noticed that named configuration files are very different from distro to distro but on mine adding a new domain involves editing this file:
/var/named/chroot/var/named/zones.conf
Adding a line like this:zone "router.loc" IN { type master; file "zones/router.loc"; allow-update { none; }; };
where router.loc is the domain.
Then in zones/router.loc it would look something like this:
Code:
$TTL 600
@ IN SOA router.loc. root.borg.loc. (
1000000000 ; serial
1D ; refresh
1H ; retry
1W ; expire
3H ; minimum
)



@ IN NS ns1.borg.loc.
IN MX 10 mail.router.loc.

@ IN A 10.1.1.1

www IN A 10.1.1.1
mail IN A 10.1.1.1


I don't bother updating the serial ever but probably a good idea to do this on an internet server. Though I never seen it cause any issues to just leave it the same all the time. Normally the date is used. If you write a script you can always automate it too.
