Domain without WWW. not working

Ah, now that we have a real domain to look at...

The reason "http://dairypower.com" works and "http://www.dairypower.com"
does is fairly straight-forward.  You have an A record for $ORIGIN (ie,
dairypower.com), but not for www.dairypower.com.  (Actually, no records
for "www" at all.)

Add an A record for "www.dairypower.com" and you'll be happy.

The difference between theory and practice is often greater in practice
than in theory.
