Comment(by dfuhriman):

 trust me, I know the pain — I've been doing DNS edits for 20 years. :)

 But CNAMEs still are evil — for exactly the reason things broke here.
 People treat them as aliases, and they're not really aliases, but they're
 enough like aliases that people treat them that way.

 If you want to argue that DNS needs a genuine alias type, then I'm all on
 board. :)
