Re: [cobalt-developers] CNAME record

["Michael" <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

If I'm correct, A-records can only point a domain name to an IP Address,
correct?  Since we use a Raq3 we are not using unique IP Addresses for each
site so I don't believe an A-record would work.  Correct me if I'm wrong...

Thanks,
Michael
