DNS setup CNAME for simianviz.net

[adrianco]

I can't figure out the config to get a CNAME to work. I'd like simianviz.org to redirect to this github site and simianviz.net to redirect to the SPA at simianviz.divshot.io

Unfortunately, because of RFC 1034 (http://superuser.com/questions/264913/cant-set-example-com-as-a-cname-record), CNAMEs at the root are not allowed. You can try to get around this using a service like CloudFlare (https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200169056-CNAME-Flattening-RFC-compliant-support-for-CNAME-at-the-root).

Thanks Dan, that makes sense.
