I've got a wierd error with my DNS.  I want my domainname (ccs-online.com) to
map to one of the hosts (ccs.ccs-online.com).  I did this by adding the line:
                IN      CNAME   ccs.ccs-online.com.
as the first line after:
$ORIGIN ccs-online.com.

This works, but it produces an error when named starts:
Jan  2 12:35:01 news named[17893]: ccs-online.com has CNAME and other data (ille
gal)

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
