> I just recently moved from bind 8.1.X to bind 8.2.1 and now our multiple
> cnames do not work.  What i mean by not working, is this:
> 
> lab    IN    CNAME    machine1.foo.com
> lab    IN    CNAME    machine2.foo.com
> lab    IN    CNAME    machine3.foo.com
> 
> This should allow people who telnet, rsh, etc to lab.foo.com to get a
> different machine each time they shell to lab.  If i do nslookup lab, i get
> the same machine each time, it doesnt scroll through the list anymore.
> 
> i have added the option multiple-cnames yes; to our named.conf.  Note, that
> this is the same named.conf that worked for 8.1.X.  I have watched syslog
> for any errors when starting named, and no errors at all came up.  Any help
> would be great.

> TIA
