It can coexist with anything other than CNAME, NS/DS, or another DNAME,
and you need A, AAAA, and MX records at the DNAME to do what many
people wrongly believe that DNAME does.  See RFC 6672, sec 2.4.

Not to be oversnarky, but I'd want a field to upload a picture of the
user shooting himself in the foot to demonstrate that he understands
what DNAMEs will do.  I once did a spot check of the DNAMEs that used
to be in .cat and I don't recall finding any that were implemented
correctly, e.g., with a web server that responded to both www.<name>
and www.<dname> with a reasonable web page.

I assume I missed a discussion of what problem this solves -- is
it in the list archives?

R's,
John
