Confused :(
Do your customer want:
www.xyz.com pointing to the same IP as www.abcd.com
without having to manage xyz.com?
------
With bind:
zonefile xyz.com
$ORIGIN xyz.com.
<yadiyada TTL SOA>
$INCLUDE domains/abcd.com.all
zonefile abcd.com
$ORIGIN abcd.com.
<yadiyada TTL SOA>
$INCLUDE domains/abcd.com.all
Just make sure nothing is the .all has the .abcd.com. (dots are
important).
Without bind:
Good luck.
