There's a DNAME record that can be used to alias an entire domain, but I
don't think it's widely supported yet.

You can alias individual names within the domains to names in the other
domain, e.g.

www.xxx.yy. IN CNAME www.xxx.ww.

If you want to alias the domain name itself, you'll have to use an A
record:

xxx.yy. IN A <address of xxx.ww>
