5.2 CNAME (Canonical NAME)

This type allows mapped domain names to have one website address or above available for web browsers at

the same time. Type CNAME is capable of mapping a type “A” mapped domain name, yet it is not

recommended mapping a type “CNAME” domain name.

Ex.

Type CNAME as Alias is to map up real domain name. (Table 5-2)

Domain Name

Type

IP Address

host23.airlive.com A 61.11.11.14

host5.airlive.com CNAME

host23.airlive.com

Table 5-2 Mapping table of CNAME

The table above indicates that host5.airlive.com (Alias) is mapping to host23.airlive.com (domain name).

Thus, pinging host5.airlive.com under DOS mode will have the result of 61.11.11.14.
