Unfortunately not at this time, but read on, it need not be any more....

Checking.... a yes, I have 1. Seems to be an old server with a CNAME that
has an MX pointing at it (damn these old zone files - the machine doesn't
even exist any more!). Did not notice it in amongst all the TTL warnings
for the 60 zones.
Fixing.... Restarting....
Yep, looks good. I'm not getting non-authoritative messages for CNAME
lookups now. Looks like that did the trick. Maybe I should get my eyes
checked (again) :)
Thanks
Matthew
