Nick, All looks great Putting the ns records on GoDaddy will work fine for your needs.
Adding multiple sites is http://reflectivepixel.com/ is at herokugarden http://code.reflectivepixel.com is at tumblr http://photos.reflectivepixel.com is at smugmug mail, calendar, photos are at google Up until this week, I had an A record with * pointing to another server. All other domains went to a server with htaccess rewrite rules to redirect to the appropriate url (e.g.: www, ww, wwww, rewrote to the root domain and photo went to photos) http://skitch.com/kbrock/b3euq/total-dns-control-panel The issue is the implications of the cname record. > gemcutter.org. proxy.heroku.com CNAME You can read it as: find the content for gemcutter at proxy.heroku. But more accurately it is saying that gemcutter is basically the same as heroku.com If the two are the same, then does heroku.com or gemcutter.org host the DNS record? Some mail clients assume heroku (the master) will host the DNS record. Good news: proxy.heroku.com's mx records are the same as yours. so this shouldn't be a problem. Godaddy tries to protect you from yourself. This is a pain. On another route, if you tell dns CNAME www is provided by proxy.heroku.com, that is less of a statement. And --Keenan (others - please correct where I went wrong) On Jul 25, 2009, at 6:46 PM, Nick Quaranto wrote: > > Sorry if this was double posted, I didn't see it showing up on Google > Groups. > > Hey folks, I'm really confused with trying to set up a custom domain > for Heroku.
