no idea what that means, a CNAME can point to anotehr CNAME in circles

it is a bad practice and leads exactly to the problems you describe when 
the other side tries to verify A/PTR matching because there is just no 
ordering like there is also no rodering having multiple A records for 
the same name with different IP's
