Slight change...

I was doing this with an existing domain.  I went right back to square one
and deleted the site I wanted repointing.  The instructions don't mention
adding the site through the control panel, just that you need to create 2 a
records and 1 mx record.  I have now done this and when I type the domain in
it just sits there and does nothing.
