PowerDNS does not currently support DNAME in any version. There are no current plans for adding it, as there has been very little demand.

I believe implementing the CNAME-synthesis part of the DNAME RFC2672 (which should be enough, functionally) could be done by writing a simple pipebackend script. Having the DNAME records in your SQL records table should not cause any trouble with the various SQL-backends (although I have not verified this).

Kind regards,
