Hence, we would create the following Resource Records within the name server. 
In the Resource Records, it would look like this:

ML1		UNAME		ACE1
ML2		UNAME		ACE1
ML3		UNAME		ACE1
ML3		UNAME		ACE1 

ACE1		IN 	A	1.2.3.4.
		IN	A	1.2.3.4.

A "UNAME" Resource Record is shown here. In practice, it could be CNAME 
(except CNAME is unable to handle MX).

What is the explanation for using the (not-yet-developed) "UNAME" RR type
instead of the currently available DNAME (in BIND 9)?
