Allow CNAME support, not just "A" record

Why not just use the original name? i.e. instead of myvm.example.com.cname.nip.io, why not just use myvm.example.com?

Ahh, you want it for handling wildcard names. You can add these in your local dns too, i.e. you can configure *.myvm.example.com to be a CNAME for myvm.example.com.

@normanr, the whole idea is that I have no control over my company's DNS servers and that I don't want to make just local changes to /etc/hosts file on my machine but to be able to share a URL between all team members easily.

I am sure there are more use cases; this is just one that I found helpful for me.

You should chat to your network administrator about adding wildcard names for your machine. I'm sure they'd prefer to keep DNS requests with private company machine names internal to their network instead of sending them to a 3rd party service somewhere on the internet.

I am asking from a technical perspective. Believe me that if I wanted to talk to my administrator I would not have to come here. Finding people-related solutions is not the purpose of GitHub. Since technically it's possible I am asking here to implement that. I don't need a GitHub issue to tell me "that's not possible". We're here to make things possible and to develop new innovative technical solutions, not to be stuck in "this-is-not-possible land".

exactly facing same issue here.
