Guys, just to clarify how the Zerigo add-on works, once you have pointed
your domain to their DNS servers:

1) Adding a root domain to your app

When you add a root domain to your with "heroku domains:add foo.com", the
Zerigo add-on will automatically pick that up and add A Records pointing to
all of Heroku's current front-end load balancers.

2) Adding a hostname to your app

When adding a hostname as in "heroku domains:add www.foo.com", the Zerigo
add-on will create a CNAME pointing to proxy.heroku.com.

All versions of the add-on allows you to sign in to Zerigo's configuration
UI and add additional hostnames, changes existing ones and modify MX records
etc. You get to the Zerigo UI by:

1) Go to MyApps and select your app
2) Click the Zerigo add-on in the add-ons menu on the upper right
3) On the Zerigo add-on configuration page, choose the domain you want to
configure, and you'll automatically be signed into Zerigo.com

Once you're in the Zerigo UI it should be simple to add the CNAME you'd like
to map to your AWS hostname.

Best,

Morten
