Read RFC1034: "Domain Concepts and Facilities". It's a fundamental DNS
standard. I quote from section 3.6.2:

	If a CNAME RR is present at a node, no other data should be
	present; this ensures that the data for a canonical name and
	its aliases cannot be different.

So if a name already exists as some record type -- like SOA or NS --
it cannot exist as a CNAME. Is that clear enough for you?
