are you giving the dns time to propogate?

 

[system0]

yes - ive had problems with it for a while
to be honest theres a good chance im just not doing it right but ive followed the dns demo on enom

"Important: When you use a domain in the address field you must add a trailing period ("."). Unless you do so the name server will add your domain to the end of the domain given. "

Of course you might also try frame redirect.

 

[system0]

yeah enom adds the period anyway
ill give the frame redirect a try

thanks

eNom's CNAME setting fails to "take" about 10% of the time. I have filed, many, many trouble tickets on this. They DO fix it manually if asked, but seem to refuse to acknowedge that there is a bug in the system.

If the CNAME doesn't start working in 24 hours, it will NEVER start working. Some were still failing after 6 months; I now run a monitor daily.

I might add that there have been a LOT of CNAME failures this week... I just filed reports on 5 new names that are resolving to eNom's PPC page rather than my webserver.... which mean's it's NOT a propegation issue.

i might raise this with enom
thanks
