Re: [swinog] Mail to CNAME a thing?

Short update on this problem, which should be fixed by now:
- I was able to reach the responsible team, and they answered very quickly. I 
was positively surprised!
- They confirmed there's a problem with the zone content on their Dyn 
nameservers
- They then added additional NS records on level msa.msidentity.com to point 
only to Akamai servers (overriding the
  50:50 split for msidentity.com)
- The result now is that mail.msa.msidentity.com gets resolved only bei Akamai 
servers, and should thus resolve
  reliably.

I don't know the reason why they couldn't just fix the zone copy that gets 
distributed to the Dyn servers, but the
workaround fixed the problem at hand, so problem solved :)

Congrats to the Microsoft AAD Network SRE team, I didn't hope to get any 
answer, but they took care of the problem
right away!

Cheers,
Markus

there is actually one DNS service company providing

Aname records .. basically a records with following an other A Record

the getting notifyed when de A record changes and change the Aname record

the very advantage is faster DNS resolve times and eliminating the need 
of Cname at all.


and allows even using an Mailserver behind an Dynamic IP

my small input ;)

Hello Ralph


[TL;DR]  ;-)

sorry about that, but it's not about an MX to a CNAME, it's about the domain 
part being resolved
directly via a CNAME (kind of like having a domain-level CNAME to another 
domain, except _THAT_ isn't allowed
due to shadowing NS and SOA records). With something like 
"accountprotection.microsoft.com" they're probably
not breaking that rule though.

When you have time, I'd welcome an answer to my question ;)

Cheers,
Markus
