FOI CNAME

gistfile1.txt

Hi,

Thanks for the prompt action - I just have a query that's come up while testing at our end.

Doing a lookup for foi.hackney.gov.uk is returning a CNAME of "\032hackney-foi.mysociety.org." - it looks like a space character might have slipped into the record (032 is decimal space in ascii/unicode)?

Would you mind just double-checking?

$ dig @smodns01.hackney.gov.uk foi.hackney.gov.uk
