    Canonical name for a DNS alias, code 5. Note that if a domain name has a CNAME record associated with it, then it can not have any other record types. In addition, CNAME records should not point to domain names which themselves have associated CNAME records, so CNAME only provides one layer of indirection.

    A CNAME record maps an alias or nickname to the real or Canonical name which may lie outside the current zone. Canonical means expected or real name
