You have to have an address in the A record.

Can you be a bit more clear on what you are trying to accomplish?
If you want someone pointing at mr-andi.domain.com to go to
www.mr-andi.com, you can simply make it point to the address of
www.mr-andi.com
like:
www.mr-andi.com. in a 1.1.1.1
mr-andi.domain.com. in cname www.mr-andi.com.
or
mr-andi.domain.com. in a 1.1.1.1
www.mr-andi.com. in cname mr-andi.com.
or
www.mr-andi.com. in a 1.1.1.1
mr-andi.domain.com. in a 1.1.1.1
It depends on what you are trying to do.
