CNAME for dax cluster name

Question

Can I use CNAME for dax cluster name? I created CNAME record which is resolvable, but while running DAX client getting error

```
DaxClientError: NoRouteException: not able to resolve address
```

Answer

That error message indicates that the CNAME is not pointing to a resolvable resource. If you're trying to make a public CNAME to a private DNS record that might be the reason.

Also: When using a CNAME, the client (when encrypted sessions are being used, like here) expects to connect to a resource that has the same certificate name as the CNAME. Which is won't because it will have the original DAX name. You'll get an error which you **might** be able to tell the client to ignore. Or you might not.
