: Can DNS be configured to use multiple targets for a single CNAME? My host has various CNAME target server eg server1.hostinger.net server2.hostinger.net server3.hostinger.net server4.hostinger.net server5.hostinger.net

My host has various CNAME target server

eg

server1.hostinger.net
server2.hostinger.net
server3.hostinger.net
server4.hostinger.net
server5.hostinger.net


Is a good thing configure the same mysite.com cname with al these targets?
Something like

CNAME | TTL |Target mysite.com | 1440 |server1.hostinger.net mysite.com | 1440 |server2.hostinger.net mysite.com | 1440 |server3.hostinger.net mysite.com | 1440 |server4.hostinger.net


or I must use only a single target?

According to the standards you can have multiple DNS records for the same host name as long as they point to different endpoints. This is the same for A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, etc. As long as your site exists on all the servers you are pointing to then you can configure CNAME records for each and every hostinger.net server.
