Hi guys,
My usecase is that I need to create like a few hundred aliases/CNAMEs to a single DNS record.
Is there a maximum on the amount of aliases you can set in a HOST record?
Or is it better to create seperate CNAME records in this case?
Please advise.
Cheers,
Martijn

It would be very difficult to manage more than a dozen or so aliases on a host record. It does not appear that the list has paging, so it would be hard to update the aliases when there is a large list. For that reason, I'd suggest using CNAME records. You can create them quickly via CSV Import!!
