CNAME vs A Record, which one do you like?

As system administrator myself I prefer to use A record over CNAME. Simply answer on why question is : fast.

This post came when I have problem with setting blogspot custom domain, I put right entry but still not get resolved. I ever use it many times and wondering if Google also give A record for blogspot and they did.

Yes, its my fault for not re-reading google help page and I found these IP :

216.239.32.21

216.239.34.21

216.239.36.21

216.239.38.21

awesome.

I can use those IP.
