Am I missing something? Aren't ALIAS lookups free? https://aws.amazon.com/route53/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/route53/pricing/ "DNS queries are free when both of the following are true: The domain or subdomain name (example.com or acme.example.com) and the record type (A) in the query match an alias record. The alias target is an AWS resource other than another Route 53 record."

Queries to ALIAS records that are AWS resources (ELB, CloudFront), etc are indeed free. The reason is directly related too; we want to be able to raise and lower the TTL value without customers being impacted.
