Hello there, <br>
<br>
I'm facing a strange behaviour with ALIAS/CNAME records , this is
how to replicate the error:<br>
<br>
1) create an empty example.com zone;<br>
2) add those records<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite">@ IN ALIAS 60 mytest.example.com.<br>
www IN ALIAS 60 mytest.example.com.</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br>
3) commit the changes, it should apply with no errors<br>
4) edit the zone example.com and modify contents like this<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite">@ IN ALIAS 60 mytest.example.com.<br>
www IN CNANE 60 @.</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
5) commit changes, it will popup an error<br>
<br>
<b><font color="#ff0000">RRset <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.example.com" moz-do-not-send="true">www.example.com</a>.
IN CNAME: Conflicts with pre-existing RRSET</font></b><br>
<br>
6) delete now the www record and commit changes<br>
7) create now the same record, as before<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite">@ IN ALIAS 60 mytest.example.com.<br>
www IN CNANE 60 @.</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
8) commit changes, and <i>voilà </i>... <font color="#008000"><b>SUCCESS:
Applied changes successfully.<br>
<br>
<br>
</b></font>Can anybody tell me why it throws an error before, but
removing the record and creating it again leads to an OK message
(and nslookup confirm it works)?<font color="#008000"><b><br>
</b></font><br>
