This is what we have except that the top 2 are A records, not CNAMEs

YES! This is exactly what I want to do. If I try to add:
CNAME (same as parent) www.domain1.com
After I've added the MX record, I get this error:
"CNAME can't be added. The DNS name contains records that are incompatible
with the CNAME record"
If I try to add the MX record after the first CNAME, I get this error:
"Node cannot be created. Node is a CNAME DNS record"
It will however let me do this:
CNAME www www.domain1.com
A mail xx.xx.xx.130
MX mail.domain2.com
This would accomplish everything I need but you couldn't get to domain2
without typing www.
After doing a Google search it appears that no other records (including MX
and even SOA) are suppose to exist with CNAMEs.
