The bind config file guide -- options statement says:
multiple-cnames
If yes, then multiple CNAME resource records will be allowed for a
domain name. The default is no. <snip>
Which is forbidden, this(1):
oak IN CNAME tree.foo.com.
birch IN CNAME tree.foo.com.
or this(2):
oak IN CNAME tree1.foo.com.
oak IN CNAME tree2.foo.com.
or this(3):
tree IN A 1.2.3.4
tree IN A 5.6.7.8
oak IN CNAME tree.foo.com.
(2) and (3) tries to achieve the same effect.
Say I am auth for foo.com and not auth for blat.com. Can I do:
server.foo.com. IN CNAME server.blat.com.
I am almost sure it's not kosher, but so far it's worked. I'm on BIND8.2p1.
