Supporting Multiple CNAMEs for a Domain

This is CNAME and other data.  You can only have a single CNAME for a given
host, and you are also not really allowed to put MX, A, NS, SOA, etc. at the
same branch of the tree as a CNAME.
i.e.
test   CNAME www1.domain.com.
        MX 10  mail.domain.com.

This will fail your zone as well.
