Domain not working without www

I just set up OS-X mail server and, while I was at it, set up the DNS server too. DNS is on the same OS-X server as mail.
My website is hosted externally by a third party hosting service but I maintain other servers on my LAN: mail, ftp and a few subdomains to my main web domain. I have only one domain name and thus only one zone. On that zone, I have 4 "machines" set up. One is www and that is set to the third party's IP for my website. The others, ftp, mail, and a the subdomains are all set to internal IP addresses.
Everything works fine except when the LAN users enter the domain without www, it is sending the request to the the mail/dns server internal IP.
I stopped the DNS service, added this line in my /var/named/.zone file, and restarted the service, but to no avail. (Obviously, the IP has been substituted. It's the same as the machine www IP):
@ IN A 123.123.123.123
When I use the Network utility which uses this DNS server, I still get resolution to the local machine. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Way too many to list... Last count 39!   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

This DNS server is not the public DNS server for our domain. That is maintained by the third party hosting service. This DNS server is just running inside the LAN. I might be doing this the wrong way but I have it set up so that if our T-1 fails, and I do a "hard switch" to another backup T-1, I don't have to change the DNS settings on all our computers. Yes, right now it IS the PRIMARY server running behind a NAT router but I intend on turning DNS services up on a second OS-X server I use right now only for file serving.
Here is the zone file for the for this internal DNS server:
$TTL 86400
procommss.com. IN SOA dns.procommss.com. hostmaster.procommss.com. (
2007042433 ; serial
3h ; refresh
1h ; retry
1w ; expiry
1h ) ; minimum
procommss.com. N NS dns.procommss.com.
procommss.com. IN A 192.168.1.123
ftp IN A 192.168.1.122
profile IN A 192.168.1.250
pronounce IN CNAME profile
prosearch IN CNAME profile
dns IN A 192.168.1.123
mail IN CNAME dns
procommss.com. IN MX 0 dns
www IN A 64.224.246.59
(I have taken the last line that I mentioned in my first post out right now.) Incidentally, if you tracert to mail.procommss.com you will find a public IP that is NAT mapped to the internal IP 192.168.1.123...
Thanks!

  • GetURL not working without WWW in web address

    Been banging my head against this forever. Running a SWF banner running AS2.0. If you view the banner's page with www before it, it works fine. If you visit the url WITHOUT the www the geturl script doesnt work at all
    http://www.maxtool.com  - works
    http://maxtool.com - doesnt work
    I've tried changing the allow access setting from domain only to always and I changed the actionscript to be document relative instead of a full link and none of that has fixed the problem.
    Anyone ever encounter this?

    that probably is causing a security sandbox error.  those 2 urls look like different domains to flash.
    use cross-domain security files to remedy.

  • My Ipod 4th gen will not work without the charger.

    My ipod nano 4th gen will not work without the charger.

    How much it costs depends on who you have replace the battery whether that be Apple or a 3rd party repair company.  Here are Apple's prices.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    It would likely be much cheaper to have a 3rd party company do it instead.  One company I have heard a lot of good things about is iResq.  For others, do a simple Google search for "iPod battery repair" and you should get a plethora of results.

    I don't believe Radio Shack does offer that service.  Sorry.

  • Why app store is not working without card details

    My app store is not working without entering card details , I lost my olf apple id .
    i MADE a new one .

    What do you mean by 'not working' ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you mean that you are being prompted to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
    If not then you will either need to enter credit card details (you should be able to delete the card after entering it) or create a new account, and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it.
    How did you lose your old account ? If you can't remember its details then try the following :

  • I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card)

    I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card).
    Things to note:
    I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
    I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
    any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
    It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

    Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.

  • URGENT: Sorry, Expander will not work without the Stuffit Engine...

    hallo,
    I want to watch a show of myself on Time Warner Cable TODAY live ONLINE while being in Europe, so it is urgent:
    sometimes when I try to install a software I get the following error message:
    'Sorry, Expander will not work without the Stuffit Engine. Please reinstall the original installer.'
    Just now I wanted to install 'Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X' and got that error message. Any suggestions?
    THANKS YOU!
    1 GHz PowerPC G4 (3.3)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    "Any suggestions? "
    Obviously you need to reinstall Stuffit Expander. Download it from Stuffit.com.
    Also, forget about Windows Media Player. It's out dated, and not even made anymore. Download the free Flip4Mac QuickTime plugin from Flip4Mac.com
    Hope that was urgent enough...

    if your youtube was already running then I would exit out of the application completely by double clicking your home button and then search for your youtube app on the row that will show below and then press and hold down the youtube icon and then click the "X" to exit out of it. Afterwards try to reopen youtube and play a video to see if it works

    Why does a movie I bought on iTunes not work without internet?

    As long as the film has been fully downloaded (or synced from your computer's iTunes) then you should be able to watch it in the iPad's Videos app without needing to be online - is that how you are trying to view it ?

  • Domain not working with AFP anymore

    I have Lion Server on a Mac Mini Server with VPN and WEB services enabled... Everything was working fine, then all the sudden I cannot access my AFP shared Drives or my server via my domain.  My Domain is hosted through GoDaddy, and the A Host Record is set to my IP address (Main IP not internal Network IP).  This is how it was setup before and it worked, and now its not working...
    I used to be able to type in www.domainname.com and it would bring up a login so I can remotely access my server files, but now it doesn't work at all... even though the Web and FIle Sharing services are running and nothing has changed...
    Any ideas?

    I have checked and double checked and my Ports are open and services are running, and my domain is pointed to my IP address (External IP), but I still cannot seem to bring up even the server side pages via the internet.  I don't know what changed, but it was working and now its not... Very fustrated...

  • Saved password not working with www

  • 2nd published site only works WITHOUT "www"

    Hey guys,
    I will try to explain my problem as best I can. I have my main site publish to a personal domain, let's call it www.MainSite.com. Now I want to set up a new site, which is a second site on my iWeb domain file, and can be accessed without problems at www.MainSite.com/New_Site.html.
    I have the main site set up with GoDaddy with the CNAME forwarding to web.mac.com. No problems there. But when I set up my new domain to forward to www.MainSite.com/New_Site.html, it only works properly when you type in NewSite.com and www.NewSite.com brings up a login prompt for my iDisk.
    All I want is for my second iWeb site to be independent from the first.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Firstly, if you have two websites, then it might be a good idea to separate them out. You can do this by copying the domain.sites file and having one site per file. You can then publish separately.
    Secondly, the CNAME and personal domain name option can be used ONCE only for every .Mac account. To set up your new site you need to use the web forwarding option. However, you need to create forwarding to web.mac.com/username/sitename. If you do this it should take you to the new site.
