Adding an Alias (CNAME) record - BlueCat Integrity - 9.3.0

You can add an alias (CNAME) record for a zone from the Resource Records tab within the top-level DNS zone or sub-zones, or you can add the alias record using the Add Alias Records function from the Details page of a host or alias record. Address Manager supports dotted alias names. You can add alias records with dot (.) in their names. A dotted alias name should contain no more than ten dots.
