i have a weird problem. im trying to setup CNAMES. such as ftp.pantiez.org mail.pantiez.org www.pantiez.org and irc.pantiez.org

ftp.pantiez.org and mail.pantiez.org resolve just fine, but for some reason www.pantiez.org wont, they are all setup the same exact way in the zone file. here it is

$TTL 3D
@ IN SOA ns1.pantiez.org. root.pantiez.org. (
199609232 ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
8H ; refresh, seconds
2H ; retry, seconds
4W ; expire, seconds
1D ) ; minimum, seconds
NS ns1.pantiez.org.
NS ns1.pantiez.org.
MX 10 pantiez.org. ; Primary Mail Exchanger
TXT "pantiez.org"

localhost A 127.0.0.1
pantiez.org. A 65.19.178.38
ns1 A 65.19.178.222
ftp.pantiez.org. IN CNAME pantiez.org.
www.pantiez.org. IN CNAME pantiez.org.
mail.pantiez.org. IN CNAME pantiez.org.
irc.pantiez.org. IN CNAME pantiez.org.


see, www is the same as ftp (which resolves) any ideas?

Code: $ host ftp.pantiez.org
ftp.pantiez.org is an alias for ns1.pantiez.org.
ns1.pantiez.org has address 65.19.178.222
ftp.pantiez.org is an alias for ns1.pantiez.org.

Works For Me (tm). I suspect you have a DNS server somewhere doing some caching. Try setting the TTL to a small value (60s or so) until you get everything working.
