These names are flipped, I think.
Do you want to create cname "alias" icinga => azazel, right? So when 
somebody resolves icinga, he actually gets record for azazel. It's meant 
in this way?

If I understood correctly, you have to create LDAP object 
'idnsname=icinga,idnsname=chao5.int,cn=dns,dc=chao5,dc=int' with 
cNAMERecord 'azazel'.

It says 'if you are looking for name icinga, right place is azazel'.

I tested this on RHEL 6.2 with bind-dyndb-ldap.x86_64 0:0.2.0-7.el6.

Right IPA command is:
ipa dnsrecord-add chao5.int icinga --cname-rec=azazel


Please don't forget to remove cname attribute from azazel. It's not 
allowed to mix cname with other records. In that case behaviour is 
undefined.

Please provide exact version number:
rpm -q bind-dyndb-ldap
