AFAIK, CNAME record is not inteded for redirection. CNAME is a kind of 
"name aliasing".

I think you will need an "A" record in the event "tothis.eu" had a 
dedicated IP address:

somedomain.eu IN A remote_ip_address_of_the_server_tothis.eu

Another approach could be using Apache to handle the domain redirection/
forwarding:

Redirect directive
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect
