Ok, I am doing this for Zmoney because he has so much stuff he is working on right now, but what he told me to get is something that will link both of our web servers as one, like we have blynk.net and www.blynk.net, we need them both to be like synchronized. How would I go about doing this or where would i find some information on this?
Thanx for any help provided.

like we have blynk.net and www.blynk.net

They are one in the same already. Typo?

No, blynk.net and www.blynk.net are actually different--the first refers to the domain (or the default server on the domain) and the other refers to a machine named www which can be resolved to an IP by blynk.net's DNS. So, it can be two different machines (and on two different networks for that matter).

If you are using BIND (or named files in linux), you should just be able to point www to the same IP that the domain points to. You'd do that in hosts.db. I wouldn't go messing around with BIND unless you know exactly what you are doing, you might want to pick up a book on the subject first. One of the better ones is DNS and BIND (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/dns4/).
