When we fetch the dns records by name, we get a list of records that match
the given name. As an optimization we look up to see if the new record we
want to create is already in the returned list to avoid performing any updates.
However, when the new record we want to create isn't in the returned list, it
is hard to say if the returned list contains the list of records that we want
to retain. For example, we might get a list of A records and we want to create
a CNAME record. Creating a new CNAME record without removing the A records is
a DNS misconfiguration. So to play safe we just remove all the existing records
in the list and create the new desired record.
