I don't get why you said they were "shot down". The DNAME record type
is standards track with 2 RFCs issued. Starting as RFC 2672 and updated
3 years ago with RFC 6672. As far as I can see they're supported by
most of the open source authoritative name servers and recursive
resolvers (BIND, NSD / Unbound, Knot, Yadifa, MaraDNS), commercial
implementations such as Cisco, Nominum, Microsoft as well as OS
resolvers.
