[ale] OT- sorta - DNS

[Jerald Sheets]

Looks good to me!

I don't want to come off as some guru...  I did trial and error for a week
until it worked right.  :-D

Hi Jerald,

Okay, so I plug in my

www               in a 10.10.10.10
smallbiz.com.     in a 10.10.10.10

to resolve www and/or smallbiz.com and/or www.smallbiz.com?

i.e., I no longer need the entry

www.smallbiz.com.  in a 10.10.10.10

Is that the case?
Thanks!
