If I have these dns records:
watkins-home.com. A 1.2.3.4
txt "v=spf1 a -all"
www.watkins-home.com. CNAME watkins-home.com.
txt "v=spf1 -all"
The txt record for "www.watkins-home.com." gives an error.
I get an error similar to this in the messages file:
named[16521]: dns_master_load: master/watkins-home.com.db:4:
www.watkins-home.com: CNAME and other data
Is this a problem? Can "www.watkins-home.com." be forged?
Yes. You cannot mix CNAME with other records for a name. This is
a DNS restriction.
Should I change the CNAME to A?
Yes.
