-In
[DNS], this is effectively an alias for a hostname. It is often used for well known services, so that www.yourdomain.tla and mail.yourdomain.tla are aliases for your machine's real name.

-For example:
- $ host www.xtra.co.nz
- www.xtra.co.nz
CNAME xtra.co.nz
- xtra.co.nz A 202.27.184.102
-
- $ host mail.xtra.co.nz
- mail.xtra.co.nz CNAME mta.xtra.co.nz
- mta.xtra.co.nz A 203.96.92.132
