Usual way for internet hosts

[Kevin Darcy]

Much of this is left up to the administrator's discretion, however there are
some rules you have to follow. In particular, you *must*not* point an NS record
or an MX record at an alias. So, sure, you can alias ns.mydomain.com to
somefancyname.mydomain.com, but the name you must use in the NS record in that
case would have to be somefancyname.mydomain.com. Which pretty much defeats the
purpose of the alias, I would think...
