BIND will chase CNAME targets up to 16 times, then stop. It's a loop-prevention method: if you have a.example.com pointing to b.example.com which points back to a.example.com, BIND will try 16 times to find a useful target, then give up. This has the side effect of cutting off a legitimate CNAME chain at 17 records, but such a chain is pretty unlikely to occur in nature. -- Evan Hunt -- e...@isc.org Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
