CNAME issue

short answer: can't be done

You cannot have a cname and 'other' information for same entry.  As a zone 
requires an SOA record, you cannot have a CNAME for the entire domain 
(theoretically a registrar could do it in .com, but afaik nobody does 
his).

Depending on customer's requirements, can put in a  wildcard  *.abcd.com 
in cname xyz.com

Or can load the same zone file for both abcd.com and xyz.com, so in both, 
mail<domain> goes to the same place
