help with multi-part host name

[lp_washu]

I am setting up Windows 2k DNS inside a firewall. My outside DNS system is
Bind 8.x. I am in a split brain dns structure

I have quite a few ftp sites with mutli-part host names such as
ftp.sitename.domainname.com , MS DNS does not allow me to put in a multipart
host name using the Gui. My Bind alias records look like the following.

$ORIGIN sitename1.domainname.com.
ftp 86400 IN CNAME servername.domainname.com. ;Cl=3
$ORIGIN sitename2.domainname.com.
ftp 86400 IN CNAME servername.domainname.com. ;Cl=3

Can anyone help tell me how I can register this type of alias in MS DNS?

Thanks,
LP

Those aren't "multipart" host names. Those are host names,
subdomains, domains and top level domains. The host "ftp" goes in the
"sitename" domain which is a subdomain of the "domainname" domain in
the TLD ".com".

$ORIGIN sitename1.domainname.com.
ftp 86400 IN CNAME servername.domainname.com. ;Cl=3
$ORIGIN sitename2.domainname.com.
ftp 86400 IN CNAME servername.domainname.com. ;Cl=3

As a CNAME in the servername.domainname.com zone.

Thanks. In the Bind manager (QIP) the server name is registered as
servername.domain.com and there is an alias listed for it as
name1.name2.domain.com. I have no domain registered for name2 unless this
registers it as such by default. I have found dozens of these types of
entries when I am trying to set up the MS DNS. Do I have to set up
subdomains for the name2 portion in my dns structure to register these?

Yes. Though something somewhere in BIND must have this listed as well
I would think.
