Windows Server 2008 R2 - DNS - Not able to create a Root / Same as parent CNAME record.

Hi,

I wanted a solution to block the https google search images, as https image search (adult images) are not getting blocked by the content filter tool.  

So for that I looked for a solution to direct the https search to http.

Solution – On Windows 2008 R2, after creating a Forward lookup zone with the www.google.com, I tried to create CNAME (as root/same as parent) but it’s not allowing me to do so and showing the error (record not compatible).

I also tried creating a CNAME under my domain DNS (testlab.com) but still it’s not allowing me to create CNAME as root or same as parent.

Is this a BUG in Windows Server 2008 R2? As same I am able to do on Windows Server 2003 DNS.

I want to avoid doing it using “A” host record pointing to static IP, as the IP can change of the URL I require a CNAME created.  Using CNAME pointing to URL will not require an IP address and this will suffice my requirement.

Please suggest…

Regards,
