This is an internal optimization - this makes sure PowerDNS sees a CNAME
record with only one query.

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve from the pipe backend -
do realise that the backends should not implement any DNS logic (ie, follow
CNAMEs etc) but purely supply data.

If you explain your needs we can help you further.

Good luck!
