	DNAMEs don't work.

	*.example.net DNAME example.com.

	QNAME xxx.yyy.example.net

	After wildcard expansion.

	xxx.yyy.example.net DNAME example.com

	DNAMEs affect the processing of queries *below* them.

	If someone looked up xxx.yyy.example.net/DNAME then the
	cache would synthesis answers based on them however no one
	does this.
