• A DNS technique where an authoritative server resolves a target hostname and returns the resulting address records (A or AAAA) directly at the zone apex. This allows the root domain to behave like a CNAME while remaining compliant with DNS specifications that require the apex to coexist with mandatory records such as SOA and NS.
