DNS Template on plesk so far does not allow to put A record for www host (Always replaced by CNAME)
I put at template :
www.<domain>. A <ip> , if i wanted a CNAME I would put a www.<domain>. CNAME ip. but always new domains have CNAME for www host even if i put A record in template.
When we press a url in a browser then our machine asks the root servers for the name servers of the domain we typed.
If it is an A record the Name servers reply with one lookup the ip of the domain. If it is a CNAME need 4 lookups.
Actually all dns reporting servers (eg dnsstuff) display a warning if CNAME is used.
thanks,
