 Be careful. You can have a CNAME or you
can have data.  You cannot have both.  See RFC 1034, Section
3.6.2. Aliases and canonical names, paragraph 3

This was not true before 8.2.3, however it was always illegal,
just earlier versions of bind, did not check for the error.

There are other issues with 8.2.3, that of using a zone serial number
of 0 to cause an update of the slave (secondary - depreciated),
does not work anymore.
