    Go to dns module, edit your zone, click on new cname and enter the cname record.
    The cname record for www.pcrednet.com in the output above is fine.

    You've forgotten a dot. Now you have:

    Code:
    CNAME www www.cblasan.com
    but it must be
    Code:
    CNAME www www.cblasan.com[B][COLOR="Red"].[/COLOR][/B]

    ;; global options: +cmd
    ;; Got answer:

    As this is often an issue and maybe not known to many,

    a FQDN always ends with a dot (.). Eventhough e.g. a Webbrowser does not really care about, from the resolver's point of view, in any case an DNS-Name does NOT end with a dot (.), it is not terminated and thus possible / allowed to attach any known suffic for lookup....
