This has been discussed before on both the bind and namedroppers
mailing lists. It is not legal to have a CNAME and any other data at
the same node in the domain tree. Thus we currently have an illegal
configuration, and the result is ambiguous. Rather than having:
in MIT.EDU domain:
dialup CNAME relay.mit.edu
dialup NS relay.mit.edu
dialup NS megaira.mit.edu
int DIALUP.MIT.EDU domain:
athena ...
athena-vax ...
athena-rt ...
It should be configured
in MIT.EDU domain:
dialup NS relay.mit.edu
dialup NS megaira.mit.edu
int DIALUP.MIT.EDU domain:
. A [address of relay]
athena ...
athena-vax ...
athena-rt ...
This is the only legal way to do this.
