But we found that didn't quite match CNAME in terms of who pays for the queries (we charge my the query, which is a common model). As a Route 53 customer, when you ALIAS to something, you don't pay for queries to those names, the owner of the hidden target name does. That's because the target retains control of the TTL, and we didn't want it that the target could lower the TTL and increase your bill. -- Colm
