  That is not legal.  It is explicitly forbidden by RFC-1912, section 2.4,
page 6: "A CNAME record is not allowed to coexist with any other data."  
Since a delegated domain must have NS records, it cannot also have a CNAME
record.

  CNAMEs are not aliases for address (A) records; they say "this node in the
DNS is an alias; the canonical name is FOO; stop looking here and go there".
