Currently my ADSL is UKFSN/ENTANet and I have a static IP address, the domain name is 84-45-228-40.no-dns-yet.enta.net.
What's the easiest and/or neatest way of sorting this out? Obviously my basic requirement is to make my slackware box think it's isbd.ltd.uk and to hide 84-45-228-40.no-dns-yet.enta.net completely.
Will your ISP change the reverse DNS for your IP address? This will get rid of the less friendly name you currently have. You need to arrange for your chosen name to point to the IP address and they will change the IP address to resolve to your chosen name.
How much control do you have of isbd.ltd.uk DNS entries?
I can add/delete/modify A and CNAME and MX records.
Can I simply add a CNAME record that points www.isbd.ltd.uk to 84-45-228-40.no-dns-yet.enta.net? (and remove the existing www A record)
