"You should remove the one that you don't need." A CNAME may not be at the same owner name as any other RR. If you need an alias, then you want a CNAME. If you need some other record, you need not to have a CNAME. If you think about what a CNAME is, it is obvious that it can't exist at the same name as any other RR, because it says "this name is actually that name over there". > Should the CNAME just get nuked in all of these cases?
