I have installed the Debian 'bind' package, so I'll refer to this. In
/usr/doc/bind are at least three documents that say this is not allowed:

manual.txt.gz      Name Server Operations Guide for BIND
rfc1033.txt.gz     RFC1033
rfc1034.txt.gz     RFC1034

Do a text search on 'CNAME' and you'll find it.
