Canonical vs. Host
I'm studying for a exam. I'm still a little confused what EXACTLY a canonical vs. host name is.

Sooooo.
It sounds like a cname is almost like a share, folder, or file name. Only on spot resolved via DNS? Correct?

Thanks. I appreciate your empathy. I respect your knowledge and experience.
I took it last thursday and flunked it. got a 569. Said takes 700 to pass. I'm self study. Haven't been an admin before. Only read through a book once. I didn't expect to do THAT well. I was going to postpone it. But forgot until to late.So..............had to take it and hope for the best. Actually did better than I expecte. Planning to take again this week.
You've solidified it for me. Think I've got it.

For example:
This CNAME
CN=MyDocuments,OU=MyOU,DC=
is presented as
XXXX.org/MyOU/MyDocuments
whereas this A record points to an IP:
www.XXXX.org. IN A 216.173.XXX.XXX
What this means is – when a request for information is made to www.XXXX.org , DNS resolves it to 216.173.XXX.XXX and to further refine the request when you request www.XXXX.org/MyOU/MyDocuments the CNAME record point to that server/information.
Hope this helps……
What test are you studying?
