I don't understand what "perform a CNAME" means.

Is this some new, ah, sexual position?

A Conical Name Record is a DNS record that identifies one DNS name by associating it with another DNS name.

mynode.mydomain.tld A 192.222.111.222
mysecondnode.mydomain.tld CNAME mynode.mydomain.tld

Don't use them for ultimately identifying MX records - always use A records for MX purposes.

There is plenty of talk in DNS circles about doing away with CNAME records, and replacing them with A records - so I'm do even use them any more.

What exactly are you trying to do, and who is hosting your DNS that they cannot help you?
