resolve cname of a cname with a bind dns server


hello
there's this issue I do not understand.

there's this domain, that is apparently a cname of a cname which is, i know, not recommended, but it's not forbidden by the rfc.

the domain is www.groenegordel.be. if i try with windows or bind dns i get this results in nslookup


** server can't find www.groenegordel.be: NXDOMAIN

but if i try with opendns I have some results.
> www.groenegordel.be
Server: 208.67.222.222
Address: 208.67.222.222#53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.groenegordel.be canonical name = www.vlaamsbrabant.be.
www.vlaamsbrabant.be canonical name = waf.vlaamsbrabant.be.
Name: waf.vlaamsbrabant.be
Address: 193.53.37.42

with this I see it's a www.groenegordel.be it's a cname or a cname.
is there a way to force bind to resolve this domain? is this a limitation of bind?

thank you in advance.

Mario
