That should work, sort of. Assuming the ret of bind is set up ok
then resolving the www address should give you the ip of your
provider.
However if your website is a virtual host, then your http queries
will be asking for an invalid website. The browser passes the domain
name as part of the http request and www.domain.com wont be recognised
by the provider.com webserver. Could that be the problem ?
If not, you'll have to supply more details of what goes wrong.
