  There is no difference.  The default class is always IN (Internet) and
no even remembers the other non-Internet classes these days.

  You fact is, you can't have a CNAME for any domain, if that domain also
has other records.  Why?  Becasue a CNAME is essentional a re-write
(replace X with Y).  A second level domain will always have a SOA record,
and at least two NS records.

  The best way to handle this is with an include file.
