The rule is, if a DNS name owns a CNAME RR, it can't own any RRs of any 
other type. So *either* you get a CNAME as an answer to your ANY query 
*or* you get records of other types. You can't legally get a mixture of 
CNAME and other records, all owned by the same name.

Or, perhaps you meant you want to see all CNAMEs that refer to a given 
name. There's no practical way to do that. I could, for example, add a 
CNAME in my *internal* DNS pointing to one of your Internet names, and 
you would never know. No tool that you run on the Internet can find that 
CNAME.
