	You want the "do what I mean not what I say instuction".

	If someone want's to add code to check of for CNAME to
	non-existant checks it should be easy.  Remember however
	that CNAME to non-existant is normal for some zones.

	RFC 2317 "parent" zones have lots of such CNAMEs.

	The "host" example above would normally result in a CNAME
	to name within the zone itself.
