Alias resource record sets only: Information about the CloudFront distribution, Elastic Beanstalk environment, ELB load balancer, Amazon S3 bucket, or Amazon Route 53 resource record set that you're redirecting queries to. The Elastic Beanstalk environment must have a regionalized subdomain.

When creating resource record sets for a private hosted zone, note the following:
- Resource record sets can't be created for CloudFront distributions in a private hosted zone.
- Creating geolocation alias resource record sets or latency alias resource record sets in a private hosted zone is unsupported.
- For information about creating failover resource record sets in a private hosted zone, see Configuring Failover in a Private Hosted Zone.

  - setEvaluateTargetHealth
```
public void setEvaluateTargetHealth(Boolean evaluateTargetHealth)
```
    Applies only to alias, weighted alias, latency alias, and failover alias record sets: If you set the value of EvaluateTargetHealth to true for the resource record set or sets in an alias, weighted alias, latency alias, or failover alias resource record set, and if you specify a value for HealthCheck$Id for every resource record set that is referenced by these alias resource record sets, the alias resource record sets inherit the health of the referenced resource record sets.
    
    In this configuration, when Amazon Route 53 receives a DNS query for an alias resource record set:
    - Amazon Route 53 looks at the resource record sets that are referenced by the alias resource record sets to determine which health checks they're using.
    - Amazon Route 53 checks the current status of each health check. (Amazon Route 53 periodically checks the health of the endpoint that is specified in a health check; it doesn't perform the health check when the DNS query arrives.)
    - Based on the status of the health checks, Amazon Route 53 determines which resource record sets are healthy. Unhealthy resource record sets are immediately removed from consideration. In addition, if all of the resource record sets that are referenced by an alias resource record set are unhealthy, that alias resource record set also is immediately removed from consideration.
    - Based on the configuration of the alias resource record sets (weighted alias or latency alias, for example) and the configuration of the resource record sets that they reference, Amazon Route 53 chooses a resource record set from the healthy resource record sets, and responds to the query.
    Note the following:
    - You can't set EvaluateTargetHealth to true when the alias target is a CloudFront distribution.
    - If the AWS resource that you specify in AliasTarget is a resource record set or a group of resource record sets (for example, a group of weighted resource record sets), but it is not another alias resource record set, we recommend that you associate a health check with all of the resource record sets in the alias target.For more information, see What Happens When You Omit Health Checks? in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.
    - If you specify an Elastic Beanstalk environment in HostedZoneId and DNSName, and if the environment contains an ELB load balancer, Elastic Load Balancing routes queries only to the healthy Amazon EC2 instances that are registered with the load balancer. (An environment automatically contains an ELB load balancer if it includes more than one EC2 instance.) If you set EvaluateTargetHealth to true and either no EC2 instances are healthy or the load balancer itself is unhealthy, Amazon Route 53 routes queries to other available resources that are healthy, if any.
      
      If the environment contains a single EC2 instance, there are no special requirements.
    - If you specify an ELB load balancer in AliasTarget , Elastic Load Balancing routes queries only to the healthy EC2 instances that are registered with the load balancer. If no EC2 instances are healthy or if the load balancer itself is unhealthy, and if EvaluateTargetHealth is true for the corresponding alias resource record set, Amazon Route 53 routes queries to other resources. When you create a load balancer, you configure settings for Elastic Load Balancing health checks; they're not Amazon Route 53 health checks, but they perform a similar function. Do not create Amazon Route 53 health checks for the EC2 instances that you register with an ELB load balancer.
      
      For more information, see How Health Checks Work in More Complex Amazon Route 53 Configurations in the Amazon Route 53 Developers Guide.
    - We recommend that you set EvaluateTargetHealth to true only when you have enough idle capacity to handle the failure of one or more endpoints.
    For more information and examples, see Amazon Route 53 Health Checks and DNS Failover in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.

    Amazon Route 53 checks the current status of each health check. (Amazon Route 53 periodically checks the health of the endpoint that is specified in a health check; it doesn't perform the health check when the DNS query arrives.)
    
    Based on the status of the health checks, Amazon Route 53 determines which resource record sets are healthy. Unhealthy resource record sets are immediately removed from consideration. In addition, if all of the resource record sets that are referenced by an alias resource record set are unhealthy, that alias resource record set also is immediately removed from consideration.
    
    Based on the configuration of the alias resource record sets (weighted alias or latency alias, for example) and the configuration of the resource record sets that they reference, Amazon Route 53 chooses a resource record set from the healthy resource record sets, and responds to the query.
    
    Note the following:
    
    You can't set EvaluateTargetHealth to true when the alias target is a CloudFront distribution.
    
    If the AWS resource that you specify in AliasTarget is a resource record set or a group of resource record sets (for example, a group of weighted resource record sets), but it is not another alias resource record set, we recommend that you associate a health check with all of the resource record sets in the alias target.For more information, see What Happens When You Omit Health Checks? in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.
    
    If you specify an Elastic Beanstalk environment in HostedZoneId and DNSName, and if the environment contains an ELB load balancer, Elastic Load Balancing routes queries only to the healthy Amazon EC2 instances that are registered with the load balancer. (An environment automatically contains an ELB load balancer if it includes more than one EC2 instance.) If you set EvaluateTargetHealth to true and either no EC2 instances are healthy or the load balancer itself is unhealthy, Amazon Route 53 routes queries to other available resources that are healthy, if any.
    
    If the environment contains a single EC2 instance, there are no special requirements.
    
    If you specify an ELB load balancer in AliasTarget , Elastic Load Balancing routes queries only to the healthy EC2 instances that are registered with the load balancer. If no EC2 instances are healthy or if the load balancer itself is unhealthy, and if EvaluateTargetHealth is true for the corresponding alias resource record set, Amazon Route 53 routes queries to other resources. When you create a load balancer, you configure settings for Elastic Load Balancing health checks; they're not Amazon Route 53 health checks, but they perform a similar function. Do not create Amazon Route 53 health checks for the EC2 instances that you register with an ELB load balancer.
    
    For more information, see How Health Checks Work in More Complex Amazon Route 53 Configurations in the Amazon Route 53 Developers Guide.
    
    We recommend that you set EvaluateTargetHealth to true only when you have enough idle capacity to handle the failure of one or more endpoints.

    Applies only to alias, weighted alias, latency alias, and failover alias record sets: If you set the value of EvaluateTargetHealth to true for the resource record set or sets in an alias, weighted alias, latency alias, or failover alias resource record set, and if you specify a value for HealthCheck$Id for every resource record set that is referenced by these alias resource record sets, the alias resource record sets inherit the health of the referenced resource record sets.
