CNAME redirect on subdomain Plesk 9.0.1?

Hi

I rent a dedicated server from 1and1 and have Plesk 9.0.1 installed.

From the 1and1 control panel (admin.1and1.co.uk) I can only setup 15 sub domains.

From Plesk I can setup as many sub domains for each domain as I like.

I need to set CNAME records on about 50 sub domains on this server, which I can't do from the 1and1 control panel as I am limited to controlling only 15 sub domains.

Is this possible from Plesk instead?

When I create a sub domain in Plesk, I can't see any options to add a CNAME record to that sub domain.

I have tried creating a domain alias instead and then edit the DNS of that alias, but with little success.
When I create an alias, for instance: service.mydomain.com and then try and edit the DNS, it doesn't make much sense as I can only seem to bolt on more aliases: another.service.mydomain.com.

If anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

All I want to do is set a CNAME record for a sub domain to point to my partners service:

service CNAME alias.mypartner.com

many thanks

Just tried something else...

From the Plesk homepage, under the server heading I clicked DNS Settings which displayed the DNS Zone Teplate page.
I added a new DNS Record:
Record type: CNAME
Enter domain name: service
Enter a canonical name: alias.mypartner.com


Thinking that this would point service.mydomian.co.uk on all my domains to alis.mypartner.com... which didn't work either. :/
