What is a CNAME record? Can't Post

A CNAME record is a canonical name record. CNAMEs allow a machine to be identified by more than one hostname. For example, the following CNAME record creates an alias zap.greatmail.com that refers to the hostname www.foo.com:

zap IN CNAME www.foo.com.

This CNAME record would redirect 'zap.greatmail.com' to 'www.foo.com'.
