[Solved] DNS settings with www and without
I'm no DNS expert, and I'm hoping someone would be able to help me with this issue I'm facing.

I have a set of links in the following schema:

Code:
http://somedomain.com/xyz
http://somedomain.com/abc
http://somedomain.com/123

and they are pointing to content at:

Code:
http://www.somedomain.com/xyz
http://www.somedomain.com/abc
http://www.somedomain.com/123

but the top link fails to reach the correct content.

As it stands the DNS configuration looks like:

Code:
@ 3600 NS ns1.namesforyou.com.
@ 3600 NS ns2.namesforyou.com.
www 3600 CNAME foo.bar.someotherhost.com.
* 3600 CNAME foo.bar.someotherhost.com.

Any way I'd be able to have these links behave properly without a CNAME root record?

Was able to get this solved by sticking an intermediary server that redirects http://somedomain.com/anything to http://www.somedomain.com/anything

	   $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('user@example.com');
	   $address = $mailbox->address;

DESCRIPTION

       The Net::DNS::Mailbox module implements a subclass of DNS domain name objects representing the DNS coded form of RFC822 mailbox address.

METHODS

   new
	   $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('John.Doe@example.com');
	   $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('John Doe <j.doe@example.com>');

       Creates a mailbox object which represents the DNS domain encoded form of the mail address specified by the character string argument.

       The argument string consists of printable characters from the 7-bit ASCII repertoire.

   address
	   $address = $mailbox->address;

       Returns a character string containing the RFC822 mailbox address corresponding to the encoded domain name representation described in
       RFC1035 section 8.

DOMAIN NAME COMPRESSION AND CANONICALISATION

       The Net::DNS::Mailbox1035 and Net::DNS::Mailbox2535 subclass packages implement RFC1035 domain name compression and RFC2535
       canonicalisation.
