CNAME records have a very specific use, when used that way they work great. CNAME records are for roles, not hosts. If I had to use A records for all of my DNS records, it would take hours of management per week. Once I have A records in place, I use CNAMEs, this makes changes very easy. >I have never been bitten by just using A names. True, to a point. Get hundreds of A records, and you'll get bit by not having enough time in the day to keep everything straight. - John Turner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
