This is, of course, incorrect.  Either the first form or
www		IN CNAME	mydomain.com.
in the "mydomain.com" zone file would be correct.

The latter former tries to declare a FULLY-QUALIFIED domain name of
"www" [NOT "www.mydomain.com"], which is probably not what the original
writer intends.

Even the lowly '.' has immense impact.
