(It has been a few years since : I've read the RFCs; that was back when I was working on my now-defunct : Java resolver library.) Perhaps that was _formerly_ the case? And now upon closer inspection I discover that my original message was way off. Sorry about that. I meant to say that I thought it violated spec to have more than one domain name share the same _IP_ with A records, however in practical use it was not a problem. This solves the problem of having to multi-home a host just to give it two different domain names.
