You can't disable the skipping, only the logging.  You also can't
make NS pointing to CNAME records work in the general case.  Because
of this named refuses to follow CNAME records.

If you are a nameserver operator you can check all zones that you
are serving are not using the old name before remove the A / AAAA
records.
