Les is going to beat the sh... out of me first thing tomorrow morning for
being a bad pupil . So I'd better beat myself first.
I think I missed the point.
Quoting the RFC1912 which should answer your question:
------------------------------------------
Don't use CNAMEs in combination with RRs which point to other names like MX,
CNAME, PTR and NS. (PTR is an exception if you want to implement classless
in-addr delegation.) .........
......
If you really want to do this, you can accomplish the same thing by using
a
preprocessor such as m4 on your host files.
