Using DNS resources for RDS Licensing Servers?

hello,

sorry if has been asked before.  i've tried searching forums haven't found i'm after.

i'm wondering if it's possible use dns resource cname or record specify rds licensing point.  for example:

we manage current rds licensing server.  we don't manage servers looking our rds lic box cals (decentralized environment), can't apply gpo them specifying licensing point.

if our rds licensing server , cals set on host named "rds-lic-01," , have future plans decommission box , move "rds-lic-02," assign cname or record "rds-lic-01" name of "rdslicserv.domain.net," , tell point terminal server instances location licensing?  then, when time comes, we'd re-assign dns resource new "rds-lic-02" machine without users in other departments needing change on end, specified licensing point resolve new host name.

does know if type of setup possible, or mismatch between dns name , netbios name cause issues? (specifically because hosts looking "rdslicserv.domain.net" cals, getting them "rds-lic-01" 1 day , "rds-lic-02" next one..)

please let me know if can explain more clearly.  thank help!
