+
+For any given DNS name, only **one** of the following routing policies can be used:
+
+* Weighted records: `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/aws-weight`
+* Latency-based routing: `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/aws-region`
+* Failover:`external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/aws-failover`
+* Geolocation-based routing:
+  * `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/aws-geolocation-continent-code`
+  * `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/aws-geolocation-country-code`
+  * `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/aws-geolocation-subdivision-code`
