If the target hostname of a CNAME ends in “ampr.org” (and it doesn't have to) then you can either leave off the “ampr.org” part and don’t add a period, in which case “ampr.org” will automatically be added. Or, you can specify the fully qualified hostname including “ampr.org” but make sure you add a period at the end.

Hi all,

I recently made a CNAME record from @.na1cl.ampr.org to my gateway at rtr-nj1.na1cl.ampr.org, but ran into issues using it. When I looked at the DNS records that were actually created, it looks like this:

na1cl.ampr.org. 86400 IN CNAME rtr-nj1.na1cl.ampr.org.ampr.org.

Which does not match the portal help text of "enter a fully qualified domain name terminated with a period". In addition, it looks like there's no option to edit already-created resource records from the portal. Is there a planned feature to edit resource records and clarify the help text?

Thanks and 73,
Cara NA1CL
