Might this be an argument for a new DNS record which acts like CNAME but doesn't have the restriction there be no other records for the same host? Something that functions like an A record but tells the querying software that it should use the IP address from the A record of the returned hostname. An "ALOOKUP" record if you will.

It has frustrated me for years that DNS recognized that mail might like to have multiple hosts that can respond to a domain, but failed to recognize that there might someday be other protocols that would like the same.
