Hello all,

 we have a name server that is primary to our local zone and sub-zone
 within our local zone. Can I have CNAME RR in the upper zone that
 his owner name is the same as the sub-zone? Consider the following
 RRs:

 our.local.zone.  IN SOA    ....


                  IN NS     ns.our.local.zone

 ns.our.local.zone. IN A     <ip.addr>

 ...

 sub-zone.our.local.zone.   IN CNAME  sub-zone.sub-zone.our.local.zone.

 ...
 ;
 ;End of parent zone
 ;

 sub-zone.our.local.zone. IN  SOA ...


                          IN  NS ns.our.local.zone

 ...

 sub-zone.sub-zone.our.local.zone. IN A  <his.ip.addr>

 ...
 ;
 ; End of sub-zone
 ;

 Is this a protocol error? thanx , Benzi
