Absolutely. In our case it was something a little more subtle - the app
(Exim) was actually looking for case-changed replies and altering its
input to match, which under certain conditions causes very peculiar
looking things to happen (recipient email addresses change case in logs,
for example)
I'm moderately curious whether there are cases (pardon the pun) where
case-mutation of a CNAME RHS might, for example, cause a Kerberos ticket
request to fail or similar - so not strict "comparison" situations, but
things which are more response-content aware.
Given what Tony Finch just noted about the root, I don't suppose you'd
care to comment on those behaviours ;o)
