Hello there!

I have been trying to do something lately but failed miserably. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

I have used the fabulous service for blogging that Gandi provides. Let
us say as an example that my domain is http://example.com. I created
the blog right in the root, and people have no problem reaching the
blog in http://example.com.

But I would like people to get to the blog if they type
http://www.example.com as well. 

A little googling told me that what I need is a CNAME for www. So I
tried several combinations, in the Manage DNS in my Gandi domain. I
used the normal interface and created a CNAME for www pointing to:

a) webredir.vip.gandi.net.
b) http://example.com
c) example.com
d) the IP address present in the "@ A" line.

None of this worked.

Could someone help me?

Merci bien!

Luis.
