Comment (by jinmei):

 Replying to [comment:3 each]:

 > I haven't recently looked at BIND 10 to see how fully it supports CNAME
 chains.  I know that in-zone CNAME chains are provided in full by the
 original sqlite3 data source code Michael and I wrote, and I gather they
 are not provided by the memory data source code that has supplanted it.  I
 assume that our old plan of having b10-auth only serve authoritative data
 and a separate b10-recurse daemon for recursion is still operative.  If
 those assumptions are correct, then I recommend taking no action to add
 CNAME chain support to b10-auth (but do of course make sure b10-recurse
 behaves correctly).

 I believe the assumption still holds (and if not we'll need to tweak
 many other things anyway, so not touching this part at the moment
 won't be harmful).

 > The subject header of this ticket specifies b10-auth, so for ''this''
 ticket, I recommend no work be done at this time, and that the ticket be
 closed.

 Fair enough.  Closing
