It is technically an RFC violation to do this, but that doesn't mean you can't do it. My DNS provider allows it and I use this method for several domains.
- mechanical_fish 16y agoThe problem with indulging RFC violations is that then you're married to whatever configuration is currently working. The future is uncertain, and if you someday run into a use case that breaks (several of which are mentioned in this article), or want to switch DNS providers, you'll find yourself constrained.
