CNAME chain works fine, apart from the multiple queries required to chase down the A record if it's in different servers and zones. The specific problems with a CNAME chain is when resolution doesn't terminate with a A record, or when the CNAME chain becomes a CNAME loop. The general problem with CNAMEs is that they work fine, but people screw them up. Len
