Need for DNS "Alias" record?

Instead of creating a DNS CNAME ("Alias"),  as shown in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/168322
what is wrong with this approach?
mySqlServerPublicName         HOST (A)   123.......
mySqlServerPrivateName       HOST (A)   172.16......
The name of the underlying physical box is  "mySqlServerPrivateName" but end users should only refer to it, and access it, using "mySqlServerPublicName". (In short, I don't understand why a CNAME record is needed at all in this case)
TIA,
edm2

mySqlServerPrivateName refers to HOST (A) 123....
mySqlServerPrivateName refers to HOST (A) 172.16....
the purpose of the CNAME is, let's say out of the blue, your boss tells you that for the IP Address HOST (A) 123... 
change the IP Address to 220.... but all the users remember it as mySqlServerPrivateName.
So you just change the Host (A) to 220 ... but the user's doesn't know that the IP Address has been changed.
You don't have to inform user about the change of IP if the alias or cname is still the same.
Hope it helps...
Every second counts..make use of it. Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

  • Advice needed for Spoken Word Recording

    I just finished a voice recording of my book. I used my iPod nano with a Belkin TuneTalk in the quietest room in house and got a very good quality recording (it is stored as a voice memo in iTunes). I've put each short story (50 of them) as it's own file. I've started editing in GarageBand 3 and it is quite easy to delete the mistakes and coughs and sneezes The advice I need is about using other functions that might improve the quality for the listener. Should I be paying attention to mixing levels or master volume levels? EQ? any other functions? Anyone else ever created an audio book? In the end, I'll need to turn it into an MP3 file for download on my website. I was planning to have a professional do that, but am wondering if I can do that myself. Thanks in advance for your advise.

    for ex in EQ, do I just need to pay around with it
    pretty much. you need to "do what's right for the recording". it would be like talking to a painter on the phone and saying "Be sure to use lots of Blue in every painting". no, you use what's appropriate for each work.
    How, exactly, do I pay attention to compression to even out the levels?
    again, like EQ, play around with. try some fo the presets, and then try changing things.
    I am simply going by the master track volume
    typically in mixing you'd work on the track that is to be the the most "out front", setting its volume as high as possible without clipping, then mixing in the other tracks to their proper level. finally you set the master track as loud as you can without it clipping.

  • DNS Alias Wildcard?

    Hello.
    Is it possible to create a DNS Alias Wildcard?
    For example, a DNS alias record something like *.mydomain.com?
    Regards,
    Kristin.

    The GUI won't let you do this, for sure. You can edit the zone files directly but I'd almost guarantee that the GUI would overwrite the file (thereby deleting the wildcard) if you edit the zone. If you don't edit the specific zone (i.e. you edit other zones, but leave this one alone) you should be OK.
    There is no easy way to lock out users from editing specific zones via the GUI. You may have to setup some kind of monitoring to alert you when the zone file changes and your wildcard disappears.

  • DNS alias name for portal server

    Hi
    I am using sun ONE portal server 6.2. We have added the DNS alias for the hostname in the DNS server for the portal server.
    I have added this alias hostname configuration in
    a. organizational alias name of the amconsole
    b.Have modified the gateway.virtualhost name parameter in the /etc/opt/SUNWps/platform.conf.default file.
    Kindly let me know if I have to add to any other places as we are using SUN ONE webserver, application server, IM server.
    Waiting for your reply
    Best Regards
    Ramkumar Raghavan

    you also might need to add an entry into /opt/SUNWam/lib/AMConfig.properties and add a FQDN entry for your new dns alias.

  • Function in select statement need to be called only for the last record.

    Select state,
    local,
    fun_state_loc_other_details(19) details
    from state_local
    where pm_key=19
    resuts:_
    State Local Details
    AP APlocal details1
    UP UPLocal details1
    MP MPLocal details1
    i) The above query returns 100 records
    ii) fun_state_loc_other_details is also getting called 100 times. But I want this function to be called only for the last record that is 100th record.
    is there any way to do that?

    Thanks amatu.
    One more small query. Can I do it on condition based.
    Select state,
    local,
    fun_state_loc_other_details(19) details
    from state_local
    where pm_key=19
    Like if one state it need to be called once.
    AP -- 50 records
    UP - 20 records
    MP -- 10 records.
    fyi: this record no. varies
    I want the function to be called for AP once, UP once, MP once.

  • Need Tutorial for Simple Voice Recording

    I'm running for public office, and a local newspaper invited me to submit a statement along with a MP3 audio file. I asked a question on another forum about software that can be used to make MP3 files on a Leopard platform, and I was told to use GarageBand.
    I viewed the video tutorial for Podcasts and also checked out another Apple tutorial, but they don't go very far. In contrast, GarageBand 3: Getting Started is overwhelming.
    I would like to start by making a very simple audio - nothing more than a two-minute recording of my voice, with no overlaid music, no images, loops or other enhancements.
    Can anyone list the steps I need to follow, from recording my speech to converting it to an MP3 file?
    I've cliked the Male track, recorded my voice, stopped the recording (though probably incorrectly), then double-clicked on the file to play it back, but nothing happens.
    Thanks.

    It's very easy:
    • Create a "real instrument" track and select a voice preset or no effects at all.
    • Hit "record" to record your voice, hit the record button again or the stop button to stop recording.
    • Move the playhead to the appropriate position for playback.
    • If you like your recording, select "Share to iTunes" from the menu and select compression with MP3.

  • Need Sorter java  file   for sorting the records in webdynpro java

    Hi  Gurus
       I  had urgent requirement please give your inputs

       I now we need One sorter java class please provide that java file
       please suggest the all the steps how  to do
    Thanks
    renu.

    1. Implement class comparator wich will compare records according your sort preferencies,
    like this:
         public class record_Comparator implements Comparator{
              public int compare(Object emp1, Object emp2){
          // here is your code for return -1if 'before'  or 0 if equal or 1if 'after'
                   int stepId_1 = ((record)emp1).get_someValue();       
                   int stepId_2 = ((record)emp2).get_someValue();
                   if(stepId_1 > stepId_2)
                        return 1;
                   else if(stepId_1 < stepId_2)
                        return -1;
                   else
                        return 0;   
    than call method sort() with your collection of records,
    like this:
    Collections.sort(record_collection, new record_Comparator());

  • DNS "A" Record Preventing Networked Users from Seeing Own Website

    I just set up a DNS "a" record in Server Admin to point "mail.xyz.com" to my server's internal ip (10.0.1.1).
    I did this so users could stay on the network with sending and receiving mail, as opposing to going out onto the web to do so. (I have MX records on Network Solutions point "mail.xyz.com" to my server's external ip.) All of their mail clients list "mail.xyz.com" as the mail server, instead of the server's internal ip.
    Trouble is, when users on the network try to access our website, "xyz.com," their browsers now return an error, saying they cannot find the server.
    Any idea?
    Lost count   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Steve and David --
    This works. I am using Server Admin. To reiterate, I
    added a zone "mysite.com" and a primary server "mail"
    and pointed it at my server's internal ip so my users
    can stay "inside" while checking mail.
    Then, to follow your suggestion, I added a machine
    named "www" to zone "mysite.com" pointed to my
    server's external ip.
    Some questions: How can I be sure the client's
    machines are going interally to the server for mail?
    (When I dig it in terminal, "mail.mysite.com" returns
    an "a" record for the server's internal ip -- I
    suppose that is sufficient.)
    Yep!
    Should the primary name server for the zone be "mail"
    with "www" as an added machine, or vice versa?
    The primary name server just identifies the machine which is responsible for holding records for that zone (domain). Add www as a 'machine' - think of each 'machine' as a specific IP address which identifies a host, hence IP / Name partnership. Any other hostname on same IP is an 'alias' (which becomes a CNAME record in the dns file).
    You say I have to do this with "any record hosted in
    my public dns as a mirror." I am running three
    websites from my server, all with public dns pointed
    at my server. (I use the same mail
    server--mail.mysite.com--for all three.) Do I need to
    set up a "www" record for each website? I have no
    problem accessing the sites from internal client
    machines.
    the basic issue is that any zone (domain) defined in your own dns becomes 'authoritative' for that domain. So when clients ask your internal dns about any zone (domain) which is defined in it, and your server does not have that record, it will respond with "no such record" and your clients must take that on face value.
    Therefore, you only need to mirror records for domains which you have defined in your own dns. If you have external www.domain1.com and www.domain2.com but only have domain1.com established on your internal dns, then you only need that domain's www record mirrored. Your server will therefore not be authoritative for domain2.com and will pass all requests out to whichever external dns is authoritative for it.

  • DNS Alias to named instance

    Hi, I have been recommended to create DNS aliases for the sql server instances so it be much more flexible for us to later migrated databases from server/instances to other server/instances... I really like this approach, but my SQL server consist of several
    named intances, one for every service/application. 
    Its easy to create a dns alias for a server name, but is it even possible to create DNS aliases for each named instance?
    And question two, is it possible to run all named instances on port 1433?
    Thanks in advance.

    Its easy to create a dns alias for a server name, but is it even possible to create DNS aliases for each named instance?
    A DNS entry will resolve the host name to an IP address, but the instance name (or port number) will still need to be specified in client connection strings.  This will allow you to move a named instance to a different server without changing client
    connection strings as long as you retain the same instance name (or port number if you use a port number instead of instance name).
    For example, if you have 2 named instances on SERVERA named INSTANCE1 and INSTANCE2, you could create DNS records INSTANCE1.EXAMPLE.COM and INSTANCE2.EXAMPLE.COM both pointing to SERVERA.  The client connection string will still need to specify
    the instance name (e.g. INSTANCE1.EXAMPLE.COM\INSTANCE1 and INSTANCE2.EXAMPLE.COM\INSTANCE2).  That would allow you to move a named instance to different host transparently with only a DNS change (e.g. move INSTANCE1 to SERVERB and change INSTANCE1.EXAMPLE.COM
    to point to SERVERB.
    And question two, is it possible to run all named instances on port 1433?
    No (assuming the same IP address).  Each instance on a host must listen on a different port number.  It is ultimately the IP address and port number that uniquely identify an instance.

  • Unable to run the application via DNS CName record.

    I have  Windows Server 2008R2 running an application that connects to a database via a DNS CNAME record. The application was working fine until after yesterday when it could no longer
    connect to the database. The database server is up and running without any issues. You have verified remote connectivity to the database server from your workstation.
    How would you troubleshoot the issue and what are the steps to resolve it?

    It might be that the application does not support using aliases for DNS resolution. You will need to contact your application developer/vendor for assistance.
    To make sure that DNS resolution works properly from the infrastructure level, you can simply use
    nslookup and make sure that the resolution is done properly.
