Yes, with aliases you sometimes need 2RTT.

However edns-chain-query also has a problem with aliases since the server
doesn't know what the client might already have cached regarding the CNAME
or DNAME target. The server has to either send too little information, in
which case the client needs a second round trip, or too much information,
in which case it negates the bandwidth saving.
