Dynamic DNS resolution question

[err]

I have a home netgear router which I have setup with dyndns.org.

I have a domain called example.mine.nu that resolves and updates perfectly to my home IP address.

I also have my own domain name example.com. I run my own DNS server for my domain example.com off an Internet server running Linux/cPanel.

Is there a way to create some kind of entry on my DNS server so that child.example.com would point to example.mine.nu and resolve to my Dynamic DNS IP address?

I know this is doable with domain forwarding / parking. However that only works with HTTP traffic. I would like a pure DNS forwarding that works.

Is this even possible?

Thanks !

I'm not sure if this is what your looking for but noip.com has an excellent dynamic dns service.

Use a CNAME record. It'll make child.example.com = example.mine.ru.

I think that's what you're looking for.

no I am not looking for a CNAME record. I know I can make child.example.com as a CNAME record. However that would not resolve to example.mine.nu IP address...

any other ideas? Thanks

sounds like the perfect application for a CNAME really. That's what a CNAME does. That's what it seems you are really asking.

"Is there a way to create some kind of entry on my DNS server so that child.example.com would point to example.mine.nu and resolve to my Dynamic DNS IP address?
"

child.example.com CNAME example.mine.nu

resolver will ask for A record for child.example.com, name server will respond - example.mine.nu. resolver will then query NS for A record example.mine.nu, NS (in this case your dynamic DNS) will respond with your dynamic IP.

I do this exact thing with a dyndns record, my own domain, and a CNAME record. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question?
