There's the problem.
I quote from the DNS HOWTO [1]:
"CNAME record usage is a bit controversial. But it's safe to follow the
rule that a MX, CNAME or SOA record should never refer to a CNAME
record, they should only refer to something with an A record (...)"

So I suggest you change your DNS setup and see if the problem goes away.
