[wiss]

Hy.

I'm interested in create a CNAME dns record for a www subdomanin to external site like this:

dig www.pcrednet.com

; <<>> DiG 9.7.0-P1 <<>> www.pcrednet.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 24078
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:

pd:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.pcrednet.com.	13680	IN	CNAME	pcrednet.no-ip.org.
pcrednet.no-ip.org.	16	IN	A	82.158.76.244

Go to dns module, edit your zone, click on new cname and enter the cname record.
The cname record for www.pcrednet.com in the output above is fine.

I need that

www.cblasan.net Cname to www.cblasan.com

cblasan.com and cblasan.net are two different servers.

You've forgotten a dot. Now you have:

CNAME www www.cblasan.com

but it must be

CNAME www www.cblasan.com.

As this is often an issue and maybe not known to many,

a FQDN always ends with a dot (.). Eventhough e.g. a Webbrowser does not really care about, from the resolver's point of view, in any case an DNS-Name does NOT end with a dot (.), it is not terminated and thus possible / allowed to attach any known suffic for lookup....
