Multiple CNAMEs are a bug.  BIND should not be allowing you to enter them
into your zone file.  "ccu.cc" is either an alias in which case it has a
single canonical name, or it is not an alias and it is a canonical name.
Though I have used and recommended multiple CNAME RR's in an "RRset" (which
it really isn't) in the past, I hereby apologize and recommend that anyone
now doing it, please stop.

In the above example you should use multiple A RRs.
