Want to confirm broken galleries is CNAME issue? (Just broke today though)

I had an old CNAME redirection which I thought I had deleted. my Domain has one still registered, so when everything broke today (And just today, everything had been fine before) I checked my host. They had the old CNAME redirection.

I get PASS and FAILS's on this page randomly
http://www.smugmug.com/homepage/dig.mg?hostname=gallery.photocross.org

And the error I get when clicking on any of my galleries (photocross.smugmug.com)

For example when I click on my Okanagan gallery (URL had read photocross.smugmug.com/Landscapes/)

Redirects to this
http://gallery.photocross.org/Landscapes/Okanagan/4325167_sFSg3

with error message...Invalid URL

The requested URL "/Landscapes/Okanagan/4325167_sFSg3", is invalid. Reference #9.c9102cc.1251007968.2deecc4


Sounds like just a CNAME issue, I have changed it to link to "domains.smugmug.com" But could still be propogating!


Thanks!

    mine seems to be doing this also, main pages work, but when you click on a gallery, you get error, for some reason it re-directs to my website telling me the pages is missing

    try clicking on any gallery there, they all dont work after the patch

    This is like the third thread I've answered this way on, but again, every gallery on that page works fine for me. Do people perhaps some kind of caching or cookie issue with their own site?

    So it was just the CNAME issue.
