Domain Question

[Gadget 85]

Okay I notice with irc.hak5.org it connects to irc.secfo.org... which I could've sworn was awesomeirc.com or something like that. Anyways I'm going off on tangents. Point is how to you redirect irc.hak5.org. Is there some sort A record or CNAME?

That would be my guess, its all DNS based.

There you go, it's a CNAME.

Thank you. Nslookup was not as detailed as dig. Didn't think of using that.
