Multiple CNAMEs and Bind 9

[Michael Reynolds]

I've seen all these pages and posts and emails about Multiple CNAMEs
being against RFCs.  Could someone point me to the RFC(s) that the
CNAMEs violate, and if possible the line(s) which point that out.  I
used to use multiple cnames to create weighted pools, an example which
follows, to distribute traffic weight among servers.  If they do
indeed violate an RFC, is there any other way to do the weighting?
