I Thought That's What It Was

A bit of tinkering and now I know what the problem is with subdomains.

You see, here at MuNu we not only host a whole bunch of MuNu domains, and MuNu subdomains, and the DNS server for those domains and subdomains, but also the MuNu domain itself, and the DNS for that.

So I can't get away with just setting up everyone's DNS entries; I also need to set up the main MuNu registry.

On the old box which didn't have CPanel I got around this with a single, centralised zone file and a bit of trickery, but CPanel doesn't allow me to make such shortcuts. I'm fixing it now, and by tomorrow everyone will be able to create subdomains to their hearts' delights. Speaking of which, I have Turkish Delight easter eggs. Mmmmmmm....

A quick bit of scriptery saved me from having to manually enter nameserver details for 122 domains. Did you realise that we have 122 domains hosted here? Me neither. Where did they all come from?

4 Yeah, they're like submarines, only they don't work under water.
