Same problem here. We need to point one CNAME record to an another CNAME record and are not able to achieve this using plesk.

Example:
A bunch of CNAMEs is pointing to the dynamic IP address of server 1.
smtp.mydomain.org -> myserver1.dynamic_dns_service.org
pop.mydomain.org -> myserver1.dynamic_dns_service.org
www.mydomain.org -> myserver1.dynamic_dns_service.org
video.mydomain.org -> myserver1.dynamic_dns_service.org
ftp.mydomain.org -> myserver1.dynamic_dns_service.org
Now you want to redirect all services from server 1 to backup server 2. You would have to change all DNS entries.
smtp.mydomain.org -> myserver2.dynamic_dns_service.org
pop.mydomain.org -> myserver2.dynamic_dns_service.org
www.mydomain.org -> myserver2.dynamic_dns_service.org
video.mydomain.org -> myserver2.dynamic_dns_service.org
ftp.mydomain.org -> myserver2.dynamic_dns_service.org
This can be inconvenient if the entries are not in a common configuration file.
It would be easier if you just had to change one entry.
mydomain.org -> myserver1.dynamic_dns_service.org
smtp.domain.org -> mydomain.org
pop.smtp.org -> mydomain.org
www.smtp.org -> mydomain.org
video.smtp.org -> mydomain.org
ftp.smtp.org -> mydomain.org
Now it is easy to swap all services from server 1 to server 2:
mydomain.org -> myserver2.dynamic_dns_service.org
