Yes, that would be the problem. You must have both records point to your
Xitami machine. Unless of course you HAVE two IP's at the one machine.
(Which is another round of headaches.)
I use Jsoft's Simple DNS to do my own DNS hosting. Not for the faint of
heart, but one heckuva lot easier than BIND. I have 7 domain names all
pointing to a single IP, where Xitami sits and pours out web pages
respective to the requests.
DISCLAIMER: I recently tried to run Xitami 2.5b5 and could not get it to
function with virtual hosts! I had to drop back to 2.4d9.
