I have a domain, flyh2.com.

I use a CNAME to forward www.flyh2.com to flyh2.elasticbeanstalk.com where my web site is hosted. This is the only way Amazon allows custom domain names. A records aren't allowed.

I'd like people to simply type http://flyh2.com (without the www) and still have visitors see my web site.

Originally I used CNAME to forward both the naked and the www records to my web site, but it seemed to cause problems.

Incoming mail was being returned to sender:

Fwd: Returned mail: see transcript for details
<[email protected]>... Deferred: Connection timed out with flyh2.elasticbeanstalk.com.
Message could not be delivered for 6 hours
Message will be deleted from queue

Seems that the CNAME on the naked domain was overriding the MX records.

Now I've changed the CNAME on the flyh2.com record to point to www.flyh2.com and in turn www.flyh2.com to CNAME to flyh2.elasticbeanstalk.com.

My MX records are set up correctly, but the CNAME on the naked domain seems to override them. Do I have to use an A record?

I'm teaching a class IPv6 and would like to create a lab for them to see the true benefit of ipv6 multicasting in action.

I created a multicast address for myself

ff15::1 (where ff is multicast, 1 is transient, no rsvp, and 5 is site scope). I then gave myself a group id of 1.

I get an "No route to host" error when trying to start the stream. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

ps: I know almost nothing about streaming.

...
main debug: net: connecting to [[FF15::1]]:1234
main warning: [FF15::1] port 1234 : No route to host
access_output_udp error: failed to create raw UDP socket

Surely if its a brand new multicast, there won't be a route to host until someone listens?
