Re: [cobalt-developers] DNS Question

["Kevin D" <kdlists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure I fully understand here, but for DNS entries you need to have a
separate A record for every blah.domain.com entry. The basic A record tells
the DNS server what IP blah.domain.com is on. Now, you could probably use a
CNAME record for each blah.domain.com instead, and point blah.domain.com to
www.domain.com or something like that, but what would you really be saving
(besides having to change the IP address in 50 places if your IP address
changes) ? You would still need an entry for each blah.domain.com.

Besides that, I am told that CNAME records should be avoided (for logging
reasons).
