Domain "forwarding" question

livinthalife

I followed the step by step guide to "forward" my my domain name to here. The problem is odd, Sometimes when you type the address in, it will work, other times it will now. It's completely unpredictable, intermittent. Here is the setup on godaddy.com HERE. I did contact godaddy, but they told me to come here to smugmug to figure it out. So can you please assist in this matter? Thanks a million!!!

Are you trying it without the www when it fails? It looks like you have two A records and I think it should only be one. keep the smugmug one and delete the other.

Scott, thanks for the tip. I did what you said, and I guess we will see. Right now it shows pending removal. As for now it's fine, I will check through out the next few days to see if that eliminates the problem. Appreciate the help

Very important Nitpick!
We don't support 'forwarding' we support CNAME Aliasing And an A-Record if you wish.

It's just that forwarding is a whole different animal

it can take 24-48 hours for the changes you made at your registrar to populate.

Andy, that's why I said "forwarding" I could remember the actual term. I knew I had followed the directions on the site though.

So I is what I have now correct? By removing the other IP? Seems to work for me thus far
