Dot added at the end of target on CNAME record

[andrezgz]

Following the experiment "2. Create a CNAME record", I specified the target

orange.jvns.ca

and the saved content automatically added a dot at the end:

orange.jvns.ca.

I thought it was an error but after reading about it, I know it is correct. I assume there are a lot of things like this, and you had to simplify the interaction.

Do you think it's something that could be notified when adding certain types of records? Something like:

• CNAME/MX/NS targets require a dot at the end. Read about it

Nevertheless, thank you for giving us free tools to experiment with things like DNS!

Thanks, I agree this is confusing, I'm going to think about the best way to address it
