Anyone else is likely to be more fresh on this, but some feedback based on my 
recollection is that apart from '-n', makedns shouldn't step on your CNAME.  
Further, you probably shouldn't need '-n' except maybe once to get started 
(with the update key to enable nsupdate-like updates like xCAT normally uses 
it).  You should be able to add nodes or change ip addresses without '-n'.

Back up just in case, it has been quite a while since I had reason to delve 
into the DNS stuff.

Subject: [External] [xcat-user] Manually add CNAME records to xcat-managed DNS?

Hi

We're somewhat limited due to the being unable to add CNAME records to xcat's 
DNS records. Wonder if anyone has an nsupdate procedure for doing so?  I 
realise that "makedns -n" would completely burn any manual changes that would 
need to be reinstated.

thank you,
