One problem that features like this have is that they don't play nice with CDN's, because the query for the target name comes from the auth server for the domain rather than the original resolver. When I was at Akamai, we only allowed this to be used to point to a server that immediately sent an HTTP redirect to the subdomain, which could then be managed using the normal load balancing algorithms. That was 5 years ago, they may have since integrated the two services, so that when resolving the CNAME it hooks into the CDN algorithms. -- Barry Margolin Arlington, MA _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
