Question : CNAME Domain redirection fails - BIND 9

I have a Red Hat ES4 server running BIND 9 and am having a problem using CNAME to redirect.

In this record, DOMAIN1 is the DNS record I host.
DOMAIN2 is the domain name I want DOMAIN1 to redirect to.
I do not host the DNS or the website for DOMAIN2.

DNS Entry:

$TTL    86400

@               IN SOA  DOMAIN1.com.  [email protected] (
                                  2006011001      ; serial number
                                  3H              ; refresh
                                  15M             ; retry    
                                  1W              ; expire
                                  1D )            ; minimum
                IN NS           ns1.FOO.com.
@          cname   DOMAIN2.com.
www      cname   DOMAIN2.com.

------  
After running rndc reconfig and tailing /var/log/messages - I get the message:

Jan 10 11:48:09 ns1 named[1989]: dns_master_load: DOMAIN1.com:9: DOMAIN1.com: CNAME and other data

Any help is greatly appreciated as always.
