It's difficult  with cname to external domain to change external domain
address ! But after some test with bind 8 and 9, in reanable cases,
external cname to cname are resolved.

But, in fact, this is not my problem because, cname to an external A
record fail !

# host -t cname test.tdf-pmm.net 127.0.0.1
Using domain server:
Name: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Aliases:

Host test.tdf-pmm.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

# host -t cname test.tdf-pmm.wan 127.0.0.1
Using domain server:
Name: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Aliases:

test.tdf-pmm.wan is an alias for ns.seblu.net.

# host  test.tdf-pmm.wan 127.0.0.1
Using domain server:
Name: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Aliases:

Host test.tdf-pmm.wan not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

test-1:/var/www/tupa# host ns.seblu.net 127.0.0.1
Using domain server:
Name: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Aliases:

ns.seblu.net has address 88.191.33.22

This is very strange that everybody else don't have the same problem.
