Q: Can a NS record refer to a CNAME.
A: No. The rules for glue (copies of the *address* records in the parent
zones) and additional section processing do not allow it to work.
You would have to add both the CNAME and address records (A/AAAA)
as glue to the parent zone and have CNAMEs be followed when doing
additional section processing to make it work. No namesever
implementation supports either of these requirements.
