I added cname support in https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky/pull/996

While the CNAME PR appears to be DOA, you can emulate CNAMEs for internal IPs using yaml anchor tags like this:

customDNS:
  customTTL: 1h
  mapping:
    home-server.lan: &server 192.168.0.1
    app-1.lan: *server
    app-2.lan: *server

This of course has its downsides and doesn't solve for external domain names, but for my use-cases this works well enough.

If I have time in the coming weeks/months, I may look at picking up where @SuperSandro2000 left off and add @0xERR0R's suggestion for psuedo-funcitons in the config file to see if we can get that merged. I know I'd prefer my apps to be CNAMEs even if this is technically functional.
