the logfile still complains:
www.sacred-key.org has CNAME and other data (invalid)
/etc/bind/db.sacred-key:21:www.sacred-key.org: CNAME and OTHER data error
master zone "sacred-key.org" (IN) rejected due to errors (serial  2002030200)


while I have bind8 too: named 8.2.3-REL-NOESW

and db.sacred-key contains:
www.sacred-key.org.             IN      CNAME   www.cosjoan.box.nl.
