Clarification on CNAME

y resolver is returning multiple CNAMEs for same hostname. But I believe
CNAME should not return same hostname with multiple values.

Ex: Configured GEOIP records as follows:

ramesh.com CNAME a.ramesh.com.
ramesh.com CNAME az.ramesh.com. ---- Arizone configured

ramesh.com CNAME va.ramesh.com. ---- Virginia configured

ramesh.com CNAME others.ramesh.com. ---- Others configured

Queried “ramesh.com” from AZ,VA and OTHERS regions against my resolver.

My resolver is returning same hostname with mutliple CNAME's.

>From AZ i am getting:

ramesh.com CNAME a.ramesh.com.
ramesh.com CNAME az.ramesh.com.

>From VA i am getting:

ramesh.com CNAME a.ramesh.com.
ramesh.com CNAME va.ramesh.com.

Is this behavior is correct. Could you please clarify me.


Thanks & regards,

Ramesh
