CNAMEs and djbdns Posted Jan 24, 2003 12:37 UTC (Fri) by anr (subscriber, #234) [Link] What's wrong with CNAMEs:http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/notes.html#aliases What you should do instead: use A records. Quoting the manual: " Don't use Cfqdn if there are any other records for fqdn. Don't use Cfqdn for common aliases; use +fqdn instead. Remember the wise words of Inigo Montoya: ``You keep using CNAME records. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.'' "
