Hi folks :)

Is there any rules for how many cnames there is allowed in a zonefile?

The reason for this question is, that i have a zone with some 2 cname
records to the same server. When i add the third (3rd.) cname record for
this exact same server, the zone failes and gives the error: 

load: notice: /etc/dns/domain.dk.net:8:domain.dk: CNAME and OTHER data error
load: warning: master zone "domain.dk" (IN) rejected due to errors (serial
2001022804)

Any ideas how to get arrount this? or is 2 cname records the max for a zone?
or is it just me :o)?





Best regards
