Barry, Cloudflare has been doing this for a while, so that their customers won't be "limited by the DNS specifications (RFCs)" <rolls eyes>. Having done that, they were compelled to offer another service -- so-called "CNAME flattening" -- to fix the brokenness that's caused by their base offering.
See https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200169056-CNAME-Flattening-RFC-compliant-support-for-CNAME-at-the-root I think Akamai also offers something similar. - Kevin -----Original Message----- From: bind-users [mailto:bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Barry Margolin Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2016 4:34 PM To: comp-protocols-dns-b...@isc.org Subject: Re: Selective forwarding from an internal only name server In article <mailman.299.1471461214.15653.bind-us...@lists.isc.org>, "Darcy Kevin (FCA)" <kevin.da...@fcagroup.com> wrote: > Well, sharepoint.com is a CNAME to sharepoint.microsoft.com, so you > might need to make arrangements for that to be resolvable as well. That doesn't seem valid to begin with. The .COM zone has delegation NS records for sharepoint.com. Having a CNAME record for the same name is wrong. -- 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 _______________________________________________ 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
