    Another situation to take into account is whether or not the DNS for the domain is hosted locally or not. If the domain does not have it's nameservers pointed to the server and DNS is hosted on the registrar all DNS records on the server would be void. The CNAME record for www. would need to actually be added at the registrar in that case.

    Oh now cPanelLauren - this is way beyond my pay grade! Guess I better hold up on doing anything - afraid I will really make things worse. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions.
