## Is the number of the IP addresses using Azure VMware Solutions for Guest OS mounts limited to 1000?

4343
No. Azure VMware Solutions is behind an ER gateway, which makes it behave similar to on-premises systems. The number of AVS "Hosts" and "Guests" is not visible to Azure NetApp Files, and the [1000 IP address limit](azure-netapp-files-resource-limits.md#resource-limits) is not applicable.

## Can I use DNS A/AAAA records or CNAME records to connect to Azure NetApp Files volumes?

Azure NetApp Files provides full support for using both A/AAAA (hostname) and CNAME (alias) records in DNS when connecting to NFS and SMB shares. Both types of records can be used for hostname to IP resolution, load balancing, preserving legacy mount paths when data has been migrated, and more.
