Actually it's all in the DNS itself. I've been playing with the
settings myself a little over the last week to get email and such
working. It HAD been working for a brief time, www.1nova.com and
heorot.1nova.com both point to the same place.

It's various things, mostly email and http access. FTP does the
not display the same characteristics. ftp.1nova.com works just fine!

Yes.. heorot is the machine name. I'm trying to use www, ftp, and
mail to all alias to that. The only way I've been able to access http at
all is via heorot.1nova.com (Except for the brief point that I made a
mistake in the DNS, let it propegate out for about 5 minutes, realized it
was a problem (I thought,) and changed it back. Of course my notes on this
process have been packed away. :)

heorot 43200 CNAME 1nova.com.
www 43200 CNAME 1nova.com.
mail 43200 CNAME 1nova.com.
Where my problems comes in is with the A record www entry, I
think. The Cname www seemed to work quite well. But I'm still bouncing a
few mails, which may be related to postfix misconfiguration.
