: Problems defining CNAME for tumblr custom domain through directadmin I'm having problems trying to define a CNAME from blog.mydomain.com to domains.tumblr. I'm using directadmin DNS Administration.

I'm having problems trying to define a CNAME from blog.mydomain.com to domains.tumblr.
I'm using directadmin DNS Administration.

I've added a sub-domain named blog.mydomain.com and then in DNS Administration have defined the following:

Name: "blog.mydomain.com"
Value: "domains.tumblr.com."

When I try to add a dot at the end of the field, I'm an error:

Unable to save dns zone: named-zonecheck returned:
loading "blog.mydomain.com" from "/var/named/blog.mydomain.com.db.temp" class "IN"
dns_master_load: /var/named/blog.mydomain.com.db.temp:32: blog.mydomain.com: CNAME and other data
zone blog.mydomain.com/IN: loading master file /var/named/blog.mydomain.com.db.temp: CNAME and other data


If I understood correctly, without the dot at the end might make my CNAME be directed to a wrong relative URL, unless this is something directadmin resolves on his own.

Is that my problem? If so, what does this error mean? (and I can I resolve it)
