you *really* do not want that

have been punished more than one time by cisco routers having that crap 
enabled and breaking DNS in various ways including mangle zone transfers 
and set the TTL of every CNAME to 0 instead leave it untouched or just 
break zone transfers silently at all

setup internal and external DNS servers and keep in mind whith DNSSEC 
that would not really work likely anyways
