Hey guys. I wonder if they intend to release a DNS Alias Record functionality (Similar to Amazon Route 53). We need to point a subdomain to a load balancer, but without that functionality, we can't. can you help me?

  Hey there! At this time, we don't have plans to add that feature to the product. However, you mention that you need to point a subdomain to a load balancer - would a standard CNAME not work well here? The DNS record would just look like this: subdomain IN CNAME name.of.loadbalancer. and that would route the DNS to the proper location.

  Hello @cPRex Thanks for the answer. My team passed me this record. "Name": "api.domain.com.", "Type": "A", "AliasTarget": { "HostedZoneId": "REGISTERID", "DNSName": "example-env.eba-id.us-east-1.elasticbeanstalk.com.", "EvaluateTargetHealth": true } Retrieved direct from AWS. Would a simple CNAME help with that?

  I believe a CNAME would work fine for that. It would just look like this in the DNS zone: api IN CNAME example-env.eba-id.us-east-1.elasticbeanstalk.com. Can you try that and see if you get good results?

  Hello @cPRex. Passing by to let you know that everything worked out. I made the note via CNAME and apparently everything is working fine. My team says everything seems to be working properly. Thanks a lot for the help.
