canonical name
     
        cname a host's official name as opposed to an alias.  the
        official name is the first hostname listed for its internet
        address in the hostname database, /etc/hosts or the
        network information service nis map hosts.byaddr "hosts"
        for short.  a host with multiple network interfaces may have
        more than one internet address, each with its own canonical
        name and zero or more aliases.
     
        you can find a host's canonical name using nslookup if you
        say
     
        	set querytype=cname
     
        and then type a hostname.
