Hello,

A few years ago we used the DNAME record for our old short-name of
'plym.ac.uk' pointing to the long-name of 'plymouth.ac.uk'. However, we
found that Microsoft 2003 DNS servers did not recognise DNAME, so we had
to abandon that. A quick check indicates that 2008 MS DNS does now
support DNAME.
