This has been discussed before, and the answer is that it doesn't work very
well. You can't, for instance, CNAME an interior node -- just leaf
nodes. For
DKIM, the ability to roll selector names pretty much means you'd want to
manage
the subtree not just a leaf. I expect for any sort of scale and/or key
management on
the target of the CNAME, you'd end up with a lot of broken links.

Thanks,

But wouldn't Jim's suggestion of pre-creating extra CNAMES allow for key 
management by the operator?

Keeping in mind that we are focused on small domains that don't have the 
ability to do subdomain NS delegation, do you think that for small scale the 
approach would be reasonably useful?
