Introducing CNAME Flattening: RFC-Compliant CNAMEs at a Domain's Root

Introduced CNAME Flattening, a feature that allows CNAME records at the root of a domain while still adhering to DNS RFCs by resolving the CNAME chain to an A record. This addresses edge cases, particularly with Microsoft Exchange email servers, and provides flexibility for users of cloud services. The feature also offers an ancillary benefit of decreasing CNAME resolution time by approximately 30% on average due to caching and direct connections to authoritative servers.
