Possibly a stupid question: are you doing...

@   cname  new.dom.

   - or -

@   in   cname  new.dom.

??

If you think about it, you might conclude that the only place that should
be doing a cname on (for example) domain.com (that address exactly) is the
.com TLD zone file, rather than the domain.com zone file - since there's
no hostname. Then again, at 3:45am I may not be thinking right at all. Let
us know if you correct your problem!

Cheers.
