A couple of things,
>From the Linux DNS HowTo:
"Two things must be noted about the SOA record. ns.linux.bogus must be a
actual machine with a A record. It is not legal to have a CNAME record for he
machine mentioned in the SOA record. "
Also:
CNAMES are used for aliases not with dotted IP's.
There is no problem with having multiple A records. It is often done to avoid
potential problems of the misue of CNAME records.
You may find this resource useful:

Hope this helps.
