You can "alias" www.example.net to chartreuse.example.net -- that is called a CNAME DNS RR. IIRC you can only CNAME within a domain, e.g. you can alias www.example.net to chartreuse.example.net, but not to google.com or www.chartreuse.example.net.
Er, sorry, I appear to be smoking crack. The WP page explicitly contradicts me: The canonical name that a CNAME record points to can be anywhere in the DNS, whether local or on a remote server in a different DNS zone.
