GoDaddy Primary Domain As CNAME Alias And MX Records Conflict

I was helping someone setup his Google Apps mail exchange records when in the course of things, I realized I had not been receiving email to my compender addresses since about the twentieth. When I did some initial DNS investigations I found that doing a lookup for MX records on my domain returned the CNAME record for the primary domain (ghs.google.com). That is definately not what you want to happen. I had originally set up the CNAME as a way to redirect to the www subdomain where my Blogger blog is hosted. Once I deleted the primary domain name as a CNAME alias record, my MX records were propagated and my email began to come through.

So again, for GoDaddy users, if you setup a CNAME record with your primary domain as the alias, your MX records will be overridden and the host you set in the CNAME for your primary domain will be returned.

Ugh. DNS makes my head hurt.
