I haven't tried the above myself, but it seems you are adding it the
wrong way around. i.e. it looks like you are saying that the
canonical name of "centos" is "debian" instead of what you want (i.e.
that the canonical name of "debian" is "centos".)
i.e. it looks like you now have this situation:
centos IN A 192.168.1.11
centos IN CNAME debian
Yes, I did wonder about that and did try it the other way around. That
resulted in a new record as follows;
Name=debian, Records=1, Children=0
CNAME: centos. (flags=f0, serial=21, ttl=900)
But it still doesn't resolve.
OK, then try specifying the FQDN for "centos" when you add the CNAME
record. From the output above it looks like it's adding a CNAME to
"centos." instead of "centos.example.com".
Also try:
dig @192.168.1.254 debian.example.com. IN CNAME
If everything is set up correctly you should get something like this:
[...]
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;debian.example.com. IN CNAME
;; ANSWER SECTION:
debian.example.com. 3600 IN CNAME centos.example.com.

Ok, I used;
samba-tool dns add 127.0.0.1 example.com debian CNAME centos.example.com
a query now returns;
Name=centos, Records=1, Children=0
A: 192.168.1.11 (flags=f0, serial=2, ttl=900)
Name=debian, Records=1, Children=0
CNAME: centos.example.com. (flags=f0, serial=23, ttl=900)
and 'dig @192.168.1.254 debian.example.com. IN CNAME' returns;
[...]
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;debian.example.com. IN CNAME
;; ANSWER SECTION:
debian.example.com. 900 IN CNAME centos.example.com.
[...]
However, neither 'debian' nor 'debian.example.com' resolve to an IP, yet
the output from dig implies the entry is correct? Of course, 'centos'
does resolve.
