     9  ALIAS is a virtual record type that points a record at another record. It is analagous to a CNAME, but is usually resolved at request-time and served as an A record. Unlike CNAMEs, ALIAS records can be used at the zone apex (`@`)
    10  
    11  Different providers handle ALIAS records differently, and many do not support it at all. Attempting to use ALIAS records with a DNS provider type that does not support them will result in an error.

    13  The name should be the relative label for the domain.
    14  
    15  Target should be a string representing the target. If it is a single label we will assume it is a relative name on the current domain. If it contains *any* dots, it should be a fully qualified domain name, ending with a `.`.
