I'm trying to configure my DNS on my VPS through WHM. I need like to add two CNAME records and no A records. I've read that this is possible and it works... even though apparently it violates the RFC.

* CNAME apps.otherdomain.com
domainname.com CNAME otherdomain.com

However, WHM does not seem to want to do this. Is it just that WHM doesn't want to do this? Can I do this if I dig into bind?

You can't have a CNAME as the root of your zone, since it also has an SOA record, and a CNAME can't co-exist with any other type of record.
