Interesting. We got a few requests at the same time which is what made we
wonder. I wanted to make sure that there wasn't something I was missing.

It's not a security thing. We do this with the the resellers who white
label our VOIP. CNAMEs allow us to be flexible with our own hosts and
infrastructure without having all of our resellers change DNS records.

*Subject:* CNAME records in place of A records

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?
