My hosted zone at AWS seem to be working fine so I am a little nervous about changing it -- but I noticed that my CNAME record for my white-label DNS looks like this right now (no trailing dot):
*.localroute.net. CNAME localroute.net - - 172800
Is this working correctly because the system is smart enough not to append another "localroute.net"
to the value? Or should I just go ahead and add the dot at the end so it looks like this:
*.localroute.net. CNAME localroute.net. - - 172800
Also, am I correct in saying that if I want one domain to map to another via CNAME then the format must have the dot at the end, to avoid ambiguity? E.g.:
www.example.net. CNAME example.com. - - 172800
Thanks for any insight you could give me on this, I want my DNS to be perfect :-)
