Yes. That's the OTHER record to the CNAME. When you have a CNAME
record, you cannot have ANY other record. Including SOA or NS or A or

Having said that ... recent RFCs allow certain authentication records,
but I don't solidly remember which ones, so I'll suggest that you peruse
the archives if you need to know.
