This isn't tested [1], but I wanted to toss it out as an idea...

The existing codepath says:
> if we forwarded a query for a locally known name (because it was for

> since we know that the domain exists, even if upstream doesn't

Just as NXDOMAIN should be mapped to NODATA, the same logic should be
applied for CNAME, because CNAME is by definition incompatible with
any other entries. So, the idea is to check if the answer is a CNAME
and then map it as NODATA.

I suspect I've made a number of errors in this patch, but the idea
seems reasonable.
