	Named doesn't care about CNAMEs pointing to CNAMEs.  You 
	have misdiagnosed the problem.

	Well A.NS.NXIO.US is supposed to be serving
	195.243.227.207.IN-ADDR.ARPA acording to PULMONARY.ISPFH.ORG
	but is not configured to serve it based on the last answer
	above.  Instead it is serving 243.227.207.IN-ADDR.ARPA.
