				   ^ This is not a good thing as I know.

This is how I did.
www.test.com.		IN	CNAME	www.geo.test.com.
geo.test.com.		NS	ns1.test.com. (assuming ns1 is the pdns server)
sa.geo.test.com.	A	192.168.100.40
eu.geo.test.com.	A	192.168.100.50


cat /usr/local/powerdns/etc/geo-maps/www1
$RECORD www1
$ORIGIN geo.test.com.
#eu
840 eu
#sa
356 sa

840 and 356 are bogus values and this is working for me as expected.
Hope this is helpful.
