dig axfr <zonelist> |  tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | awk '$4 == "CNAME" && $5 == "myserver."'

With perl you could collaps the tr and awk commands into one command.

If you have a really large zone list you could put it in a file and have
named read it.

dig axfr -f zonelist |  tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | awk '$4 == "CNAME" && $5 == "myserve."'

Note: this does not cover CNAME -> CNAME.
