According to Mark Andrews, it gives a significant memory benefit (with
file sharing, my proposed approach, the memory used by BIND is
proportional to the number of zones multiplied by the size of the
zone; with DNAME, most zones use very little memory).

IMHO, it is not sufficient to cancel other DNAME issues but your
mileage may vary.
