	Well speedblue.org is a zone.  You cannot have a CNAME at
	top of zone as it contains atleast NS and SOA records.
	Adding a CNAME would break the no CNAME and other data rule.
	Some nameservers don't enforce this but it causes problems.
	See RFC 1034 for why this is not allowed.  BIND 9 does
	enforce this.

	If you need speedblue.org to point to a http server add its
	address or use a fixed http server which returns a redirect.
