I'm sorry but I still didn't understand if it's possible to do it with some
workaround, and if yes HOW to do it.
No, you can' have a CNAME at the top of a zone. A zone requires an SOA
and CNAMEs cannot co-exist with ANY other record.
Depending on exactly what you are trying to accomplish, you might get there by:
1. A DNAME in the parent. This aliases the entire domain, so this
might or might not do what you want.
DNAMEs do not redirect their own name, so neither a DNAME at the zone
apex (which is legal) nor one in the parent would have the effect of
a "CNAME at the apex".
A *CNAME* in the parent would, but only as long as you didn't mind
losing all the rest of the zone.
2. Use a A (and other records as needed) instead of a CNAME.
This is, of course, the usual solution.
