"Ownership" of the address space is only maginally tied to DNS delegation.
Just becuase the space is delegated to you does not mean you own it.

That said, a CNAME will work internally, but not externally as the
delegation chain will pass through your ISP and they will return an
authoritative response with whatever data they have unless that data is
delegated to your server.
