I actually did almost the opposit.  I wet my blog up at www.blogname.com
and removed the other web DNS entry.  Now www.blogname.com works, and
http:\\blogname.com forwards to www automatically.

Hello there!

This is Luis, the same guy that wrote the first blog entry.

Well, people at support-en@support.gandi.net has given me a hint to
solve the problem: forwarding.

Without getting into the DNS area you can go to web forwarding and
forward http://www.example.com to http://example.com

In my case I did not mask the original address for the following
reason:

Say someone types http://www.example.com in their Web browser. They
are
automatically redirected to http://example.com. They read some blog
entries and decide they want to send one of them to a friend. They can
then copy the address field in their web browser (something like
http://example.com/post/2007/02/27/This-is...) and paste it
somewhere. If the mask option were used they would only see
http://www.example.com all the time, and they would not be able to see
the link to the blog entry.

Simple useful answer, thanks people at support-en@support.gandi.net!!

Luis.
