question about how a particular dig works ...

[M. Meadows]

Very helpful. Thank you. I was not expecting a subdomain by that name.

And as you point out it has a cname at the apex ... which I thought was not allowed.

Isn't it true that a cname record can't co-exist with any other record in a zone file? 

So if the soa record in the zone file is for www.careerone.com.au ... how does the cname record get defined and loaded successfully?
