Yes, the most popular information to associate with a domain name is IPv4- and IPv6-addresses via A and AAAA fields; but CNAME records exist as well, you know.

This is not even CNAME, more like a Redirect header in DNS (if this was actually a thing, that is).

Still, this is arguably a domain name system, just one that isn't compatible with the DNS as we know it.
