	CNAME record - DreamHost
		In DNS parlance, a CNAME record is an alias from one hostname to another.
		It should be noted that for hostnames, you should use an A record, not a CNAME.
		A CNAME, or alias, is appropriate for additional names that refer to that same host, as in the example above.

	Chapter 8 - CNAME Record
		A CNAME record maps an alias or nickname to the real or Canonical name which may lie outside the current zone.
		While use of CNAME RRs with NS and MX records is widely implemented and generates a working configuration it is theoretically not permitted (RFC 1034 section 3.6.2) since it can result in lost names.
		CNAME loops can also inadvertently result from such a procedure.

		CNAME records simply allow a machine to be known by more than one hostname.
		Records always read from left to right, with the subject to be queried about on the left and the answer to the query on the right.
		This record is called the start of authority because it denotes the DNS entry as the official source of information for its domain.

		CNAME terminology # It has been traditional to refer to the label of a CNAME record as "a # CNAME".
		This is unfortunate, as "CNAME" is an abbreviation of # "canonical name", and the label of a CNAME record is most certainly # not a canonical name.

	Adding DNS Records (A, CNAME, MX, NS, SRV, TXT)
		When more than one MX record is entered for any single domain name that is using more than one mail server, the MX record can be prioritized with a preference number that indicates the order in which the mail servers should be used.
		In addition, SRV records can be used for advanced load balancing and to specify specific ports for services - for example that a web-server is running on port 8080 instead of the usual port 80 (theoretical example - this is not yet supported by any major browsers).
		Records are always read from left to right, with the subject to be queried about on the left and the answer to the query on the right.

		The domain to mail exchanger mapping provided by MX records accommodates another layer of fault tolerance and load distribution on top of the name to IP address mapping.
		A TXT record* allows an administrator to insert arbitrary text into a DNS record; this record is also used in the Sender Policy Framework specification.
		Other kinds of records simply provide information (for example, a LOC record gives the physical location of a host), or experimental data (for example, a WKS record gives a list of servers offering some well-known service such as HTTP or POP3 for a domain).

		The AAAA record is structured in very much the same way as the A record in both binary and master file formats; it is just much larger.
		The SOA record is a way for the Domain Administrator to give out simple information about the domain like, how often it is updated, when it was last updated, when to check back for more info, what is the admins email address and so on.

		A-records are the DNS server equivalent of the hosts file - a simple domain name to IP-address mapping.
		A-records are not required for all computers, but is needed for any computer that shares resources on a network.
		This A-record is referred to as a "glue" record, because it doesn't really belong in the parent zone, but is necessary to locate the DNS server for the delegated

	Resource Records
		NS records for a domain must exist in both the zone that delegates the domain and in the domain itself.
		NS record names must have an equivalent A record (that is, they cannot point to an alias).
		The Start of Authority (SOA) record designates the start of a zone and ends at the NS records, but the SOA record must be at the root.

		NS records used for this purpose are called "delegation records", A records used for this purpose are called "glue records." Records in a delegation are an exception to the rule that a record should only be defined only in the zone that owns the name of the record.
		Fifth is the record data: (depends on record type) If the record data includes a domain name that is not a Fully Qualified Domain Name it goes through the same appending process as the domain name at the start of the record.

		Traditionally, these resource records are contained in a “zone file” which collectively define the DNS data for a specific domain name.
		Each line in the zone file is primarily composed of three parts: the name of the record, the type of the record, and the data that define the record.
		The MX record specifies “mail.fuse.net” as the mail exchanger for the “fuse.net” domain name at a preference value of 10.

	DNS Made Easy!
		Wildcard Records give you the ability to map all (or a section) of the records in your domain to one IP.
		If you create a record that is part of your domain (and inclusive of the wild card set) then only that record is directed to the other IP and everything else will goto the Wildcard record.
		The name field of an MX record contains the host name which appears in the e-mail address, and the data field contains the hostname of the server to which the mail should be delivered.

		A resolver or recursive server which understands DNAME records but sends non-extended queries MUST augment step 4.c by deleting from the reply any CNAME records which have an which is a subdomain of the of any DNAME record in the response.
		Security Considerations The DNAME record is similar to the CNAME record with regard to the consequences of insertion of a spoofed record into a DNS server or resolver, differing in that the DNAME's effect covers a whole subtree of the name space.

		The most popular use the CNAME-record type is to provide access to a web-server using both the standard www.domain.com and domain.com (without the www).
		This is usually done by creating an A-record for the short name (without www), and a CNAME-record for the www name pointing to the short name.
		A CNAME (Alias) can be either a host name under this domain name (for example, mail or ftp).

		CNAME is short for canonical name, also referred to as a CNAME record, a record in a DNS database that indicates the true, or canonical, host name of a computer that its aliases are associated with.
		Often a CNAME is used to point a subdomain to another domain.
		One of the times where CNAME records can be useful is when you want a subdomain to point to a computer outside of your domain.

		This SOA record identifies what is the best source of information for data within the domain; it contains the current version of the DNS database; and it defines the behavior of a particular DNS server.
		The value of an NS record for a domain is the name of the nameserver for that domain.
		There must be a valid A record in the DNS for the Host.domain.name in order for a command, such as the telnet host.domain.name command, to work (or there must be a CNAME that points to a hostname with a valid A record).

		Took off 10 points for having a CNAME (blog.del.icio.us is really delicious.typepad.com.) with no glue, which causes extra DNS lookups.
		Note: The 221ms overhead is the time it takes to get your NS records from the parent servers, and indicates a worst-case scenario (normally, the resolving DNS server would have the common parent server entries cached, and would know the parent server(s) that were responding most quickly).
		If you change your NS records to be ones on the.us TLD (eg ns1.example..us rather than ns1.example.com), it will fix this problem.

		This is unfortunate, as "CNAME" is an abbreviation of "canonical name", and the label of a CNAME record is most certainly not a canonical name.
		Searching for either NS or MX records causes "additional section processing" in which address records associated with the value of the record sought are appended to the answer.
		Additional section processing does not include CNAME records, let alone the address records that may be associated with the canonical name derived from the alias.

		Each MX record specifies a domain name (which must have an A record associated with it) and a priority; a list of mail exchangers is then ordered by priority when delivering mail.

		NS records are the basic infrastructure on which DNS is built; they stitch together distributed zone files into a directed graph that can be efficiently searched.

		If you have a hostname (label) which is a CNAME resource record type, you may not have any other resource record types associated with that hostname.
