You probably don't want to use the localdomain zone, or 127.0.0.1 as the address, and the right hand side of the CNAME should be a fully-qualified domain name, but otherwise you are close. Are you actually using this DNS server? The client side will use whatever servers are listed in your /etc/resolv.conf file for lookups and only search the domains specified there for names that aren't fully qualified. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
