Multiple CNAMEs are not supported by all DNS servers and are in fact "turned
off" by default in BIND 8.  Multiple CNAMEs violates DNS protocol-


I took a closer look, and it seems it actually may not be violating
the protocol because though Dean has specified two, the server only
ever returns one in response to a single query.
