No. The limit is the ability of your OS to allocate memory for storing
them, just as it is for any other resource records in a zone file.

Fix the problem the logs told you about. You have added a CNAME for a
name that already exists in the zone. This is illegal. A name that
exists as a CNAME cannot exist as a name of any other record type.
(Except SIG and NXT records if DNSSEC is in use.) The name at line 8
of the domain.dk zone file is found elsewhere in the file.
