This strikes me as overly complicated. Why aren't the alias domains just 
301-forwarding all HTTP requests, including subdomains (wildcard), to 
the canonical one?

Also, the amount of time (resp. work) required for updating a domain 
record/zone file should really be far smaller than the time it takes for 
the changes to propagate to all the name servers out there. If not, 
there is something wrong (or the TTL way too low).
