Process to associate a CNAME with a FQDN that is being used with GEO/GSLB

Before adding a CNAME, please note that the following validation is in place for CNAME records:

• There cannot be duplicates.

• CNAMEs you add must be part of the domain (must be a child of the FQDN and not the same as the FQDN).

• CNAMEs must be a domain name (no IP addresses).

• FQDNs cannot be added if it already exists as a CNAME.

• Zones cannot be added if it already exists as a CNAME.

• A CNAME cannot be added if an FQDN with the same name already exists.

• A CNAME cannot be added if a Zone with the same name already exists.
