Re: Apache configuration question

["Paul Tuohy" <tuohyp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I don't see anything on Domain Direct that allows me to specify a CNAME 
or A record.

I do have "Advanced Options" that allow me to specify my servers - but I 
guess that means that I would need to be running my own DNS.

I am having a look at ZoneEdit (thanks Nathan)
