What is the name of the record? Did you create the record
in the zone with the same name (suffix)?
csr.domain.com must be created in the zone csr.domain.com
If you use the command line you can test the DNS with the
tool "nslookup". (Ignore any initial error about not being
able to find the name for, like this:
"*** Can't find server name for address xxx.xx.160.2"
..... As long as you get the actual answer to your question then
don't worry about these bogus errors.)
Use NSLookup like this:
nslookup www.yahoo.com
....versus...
nslookup www.yahoo.com Your.DNS.IP.Address
....versus (both of those) with your target name:
nslookup csr.yourDomain.Com
nslookup csr.yourDomain.Com Your.DNS.IP.Address
If you don't understand the output, copy and paste the
ACTUAL text from your command prompt to a message
and post them here -- do NOT post a picture or screen
graphic, nor type in the text please.
Also note, if this is NOT the name used by the web site for
itself, it may not function -- this is not truly a DNS issue but
a web specific one due to using "host headers" to distinguish
multiple web sites on a single server.
E.g., your site is CSR.city.us but you wish to call it csr.domain.com
(for some reason) -- this works fine (usually) IF your web
server has a separate address for each web site, but will
either fail or send you to a "default site" if the web server
has multiple sites using the same IP address.
