Obviously this would also pertain > to NS, MX, SRV, PTR, etc. records. "otherhost." is equally valid from an RFC perspective, or "otherhost.other.domain." If there is a trailing dot, the CNAME target is assumed to be fully qualified, otherwise $ORIGIN is appended just as it would be for any other record using an unqualified name.
