Setup a custom domain on StackMob

Question

StackMob allows you to setup a custom domain. All you have to do is add a CNAME record for a wildcard '*' pointing to stackmobapp.com

I set it up on my domain registrar 24 hours ago, but it still doesn't resolve. It is going to my web hosting providers server instead of stackmob's server when I type dev.mydomain.com

I kept my nameservers the same (ns1.myisp.com and ns2.myisp.com).

Do I have to change these to something else?

update: its been over a week and my dev.domain.com dont' go to stackmob.

You don't have to change your nameservers. Likely the dns changes hadn't propagated to your nameservers yet. It's been known to take up to 72 hours.

Strange. I assume you double-checked your CNAME record with your domain registrar? – seans23 Oct 23 '12 at 22:51
You have to use registrar's nameservers, I figured out. – chovy Oct 24 '12 at 01:08

I figured out I have to use my registrars name servers, not my own in order to add A/CNAME records to it.

There is one problem with stackmob though, http://example.com doesn't forward to stackmob, only www.example.com and dev.example.com
