I recently upgraded to 8.2.2p5 from Bind4.  Ever since, I have been
getting "...mydomain.net has CNAME and other data (invalid)" in syslog
for the following record:

$TTL 86400
$ORIGIN mydomain.net.
@       IN      SOA     ns1.mydomain.net. mail.mydomain.net.(
                        2000013101; Serial - yymmddnn 
                        21600   ; Refresh - 120 minutes
                        604800  ; Expire - 1000 hours
                        86400 ) ; Minimum - 24 hours

        IN      NS      ns1.mydomain.net.
        IN      MX  10  mail.mydomain.net.
        
        
blah-info        IN      A              10.10.10.1
blah-lists	 IN	 CNAME		blah-info
        

Can someone explain to me why the above is invalid and how to get
around this?

Cheers,
