Amazon RDS - Connect from DNS record

I've been working on my new server configuration for my website and now I'm a little stuck...

How I can access my RDS instance (MySQL) without using the very long AWS DNS address?

Like I would be able to access my RDS instance from: db.exemple.com using a A, CNAME or any other DNS record.

Here's the new configuration:

  • Amazon EC2 - Linux Instance - Ubuntu 12.04 w/ LAMP
    • for web services like PHP, Apache, Zend, etc.
  • Amazon RDS - MySQL Instance
    • for MySQL database
    • separated from EC2 instance for performance and managing purpose

You could create a CNAME record that would map to the RDS address. However, it would be rather pointless. All you will get is an extra DNS lookup.
