Basically, it goes like this: - In the FreeBSD.ORG domain, there is: freefall IN A 216.136.204.21 www IN CNAME freefall - In the FreeBSD.NET domain, there is: www IN CNAME freefall.freebsd.org. - And ditto for the FreeBSD.COM domain: www IN CNAME freefall.freebsd.org. - And then the reverse domain points back to the one A record: 21 IN PTR freefall.freebsd.org. You can have multiple A records pointing at the same IP address, but you can only have that IP address point back at a single A record. That's what freefall.freebsd.org does, matches up the A and PTR records, then uses CNAMEs for all the other hostnames.
