I'm no DNS expert but I learned a few years back that CNAMEs
required FQDNs to funciton on both sides, so you would need


vhosta.testing.org.       IN CNAME     hanz-woody.testing.org.
vhostb.testing.org.       IN CNAME     hanz-woody.testing.org.


for it to work, and of course there'd have to be a A record for
hanz-woody as well, something like


hanz-woody                IN A         192.168.0.1
