Creating a CNAME record to offsite location

Creating a CNAME record to offsite location (SOLVED)

I have been trying to create a CNAME that will point to a different location. For example gmail.mydomain.com would take me to gmail.com now that is not the actual entry that I want to use for my purposes but that is the exact example.

So for CNAME record I enter:
Name Type Value
gmail CNAME gmail.com.

I hope I am missing something becuase this is not working for some odd reason. Thank you for any help you can provide me on this.

EDIT:
I am also the admin so I have full administrative capabilities. I have made sure that I am enabled for dns control.

Ok so it Works just fine but come to find out I am just impatient!! Once I changed the records I needed to wait a few hours. I thought it would instantaneous. My feeble little mind tends to lean twoards instant gratification whenever possible it is in my nature. Hope someone else can bennefit from my mistake. lol

In the future if you need help with a misbehaving domain, please supply the domain information. Otherwise it's impossible to run disagnostics to help you.

Thanks.
