> a symlink Like, a cname?

  It's a slang I use to mean for various of things :-) like aliases. I am an infrastructure person. Actually google.com.cn is not a CNAME to google.com.hk. You have to click on the image they put on .cn which redirects you to .hk.

    I too like symlink as a useful general purpose reference point that's more specific than pointer. In this case though it's a bit dissonant since there is a direct analog in the domain of DNS (cname). Thanks for the clarification!
