See the documentation for the multiple-cnames option in BIND 8.2.2: If yes, multiple CNAME resource records will be allowed for a domain name. The default is no. Allowing multiple CNAME records is against standards and is not recommended. Multiple CNAME support is available because previous versions of BIND allowed multiple CNAME records, and these records have been used for load balancing by a number of sites. So I'd say this is not a good idea.
