Recursion issue

[Manson, John]

My external authoritative dns does not allow recursion.
We have vanity names like speaker.gov.
When we add an entry like:
www.speaker.gov<http://www.speaker.gov>   CNAME        www.house.gov<http://www.house.gov>
it fails because of the recursion statement even though the external dns is authoritative for house.gov.
Anyone know of a way to modify the recursion behavior since house.gov is already in the outhouse-view along with the vanity .gov names.?
Currently we have to use A records with the www.house.gov<http://www.house.gov> IP.
Web staff and others would like to see the House server name displayed in the browser url bar and in dig results.

Thanks
