You can't do that anyway.  If a domain has a CNAME record, it MUST NOT
have any other records of any other type whatsoever.  So there's no way
to set an SPF record for a CNAME domain only.

IMO: It's OK for an SPF domain to be a CNAME, but again IMO each CNAME
lookup should count against the SPF DNS lookup limit.  Not sure how
practical it is to do that.

RFC 1912:

2.4 CNAME records

   A CNAME record is not allowed to coexist with any other data.  In
   other words, if suzy.podunk.xx is an alias for sue.podunk.xx, you
   can't also have an MX record for suzy.podunk.edu, or an A record, or
   even a TXT record.
