Hi,

Sorry if this is a bit OT. Recently several different vendors (in completely
different fields) where they white label for us asked us to remove A records
that we have going to them and replace them with CNAME records. Is there
anything *going around* in the security aranea that has caused this?

Security-wise, you should be good. But make sure you're not attempting to deliver e-mail to such a domain; CNAMEs 
cannot be used in MX records.

Thanks,
