Re: CNAME or A record?

Actually, I got that backwards.  IE prefers the "A" records, not "CNAME".

The only one that comes to mind only comes into play when using
Windows integrated authentication with IE.  We found out the
hard way that IE likes the name on the URL to be the "CNAME",
or non-intuitive results may occur.

Subject: [WEB400] CNAME or A record?

I want to establish a new subdomain for my main domain. This will be  
handled by a server for which I have an existing subdomain.  It  
appears from what I have read that I can achieve what I want either  
through setting up a new A record or by using a CNAME entry.

Is there any advantage/disadvantage to one over the other?
