test.fdiaz.win CNAMEs to origin-c.fdiaz.win, which doesn’t resolve…

dig +short test.fdiaz.win
origin-c.fdiaz.win.

That makes no sense.

test.fdiaz.win is simply pointed to 1.1.1.1 for testing, not to origin-c.fdiaz.win.

Regardless, origin-c.fdiaz.win does exist.

aaaand it just magically worked without me doing anything…

root@openmediavault:~# dig +short origin-c.fdiaz.win
x.x.x.x
root@openmediavault:~# dig +short test.fdiaz.win
1.1.1.1
