If it answers for <a href="http://www.example.ca">www.example.ca</a> but not <a href="http://example.ca">example.ca</a>, then you haven't configured your zone for the latter:<br><br>www IN A 192.168.1.1 ; <a href="http://www.example.ca">www.example.ca</a><br>
IN A 192.168.1.1 ; <a href="http://example.ca">example.ca</a><br>foo.bar IN A 192.168.1.1 ; <a href="http://foo.bar.example.ca">foo.bar.example.ca</a><br><br>All the names on the left hand side are relative to the domain, including "nothing" which means the domain itself.<br>

Thanks Sean. For some reason my server does respond to <a href="http://www.example.ca" target="_blank">www.example.ca</a> but<br>
not to <a href="http://example.ca" target="_blank">example.ca</a><br>
<br>
Of course the point is to learn how to configure DNS, and to start<br>
configuring this server for use on the web.<br>
