if there was a spelling mistake, the error would not be "CNAME and other data"
when the error is "CNAME and other data", spelling mistakes don't matter...

>(CNAME) RR.  A CNAME RR identifies its owner name as an alias, and specifies the corresponding canonical name in the RDATA section of the RR.  If a CNAME RR is present at a node, no other data should be present; this ensures that the data for a canonical name and its aliases cannot be different.  This rule also insures that a cached CNAME can be used without checking with an authoritative server for other RR types.
