Silly question: Having CNAMEs for A records just makes sense, but why can’t we have a PTR redirect?

    Thanks for that - I hadn’t thought about the rest of the domain in the name.

    I was purely thinking about it from a hypothetical risk-mitigation perspective.

    As you can imagine, keeping ‘the old crap around’ in case of a need to roll back would be handy in some migrations… Assuming the same IP complicates that.

    However, I guess a machine can have multiple IPs so it needn’t be too much of a drama if it’s just a matter of moving the original IP when rolling back…
