You can use CNAMEs.
Just bear in mind that if you do use a CNAME for a hostname, you cannot have
anything else (including another CNAME) for that hostname.
So, if you want a hostname to resolve to one IP address and not have any MX
records etc, a CNAME is fine.
If the hostname needs to resolve to more than one IP address, or resolve to
an address and also have an MX record, or similar, then you cannot use a
CNAME.
