You can't actually do this.  You need to specify MX and NS records for
your domain, and you can't specify additional data for a CNAME.[1]

So, even if you did succeed in your goal, this would cause some real
name servers to fail to work at all with your domain.

Note: this will seem to work with a number of resolvers, but *will* fail
with others.  Please, just don't do it.

Just specify an A record for the domain.=20
