IN CNAME cluster.bswift.com. No, I'm afraid not. As we saw, bswift.com is the domain, so this would lead to an illegal case where you have a CNAME and some other RR. The normal way to do this is IN A [address of cluster.bswift.com] There is nothing wrong with multiple A records, but CNAME is processed differently from all other RRs and doing what you are trying will simply not work correctly.
