Abstract:
A method and apparatus for managing CNAME records such that CNAME records at the root domain are supported while complying with the RFC specification (an IP address is returned for any Address query for the root record). The authoritative DNS infrastructure acts as a DNS resolver where if there is a CNAME at the root record, rather than returning that record directly, a recursive lookup is used to follow the CNAME chain until an A record is located. The address associated with the A record is then returned. This effectively “flattens” the CNAME chain. This complies with the requirements of the DNS specification and is invisible to any service that interacts with the DNS server.

Claim (Index 20):
The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 15 , further storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform the following operations:\n receiving an ANY query for the fully qualified domain name from the requester; determining that the fully qualified domain name has at least one record that points to a second CNAME record; traversing a chain according to the second CNAME record to locate a fourth Address record that includes a second IP address; generating a second response to the received ANY query that includes the fourth Address record; and transmitting the generated second response to the requester.
