Ok, ok, so i used the verb in the wrong way :).
I was just amazed at "should be considered". I myself still try it from time to time, but in this part of the world (yeah, i know Romania has a bad reputation) it seldom works. So, let's stick to the matter at hand: i agree, it should be part of a standard pen-test if there are no specific laws against using it even in test conditions.

Cheers,

hosts with a few interesting CNAME entries can give you a few
potential targets or point to domains you weren't previously aware of.

 Actually, they were, a long time ago.
