So our website is hosted on Drupal Gardens. It's name is really
drizzle.drupalgardens.com.

Our DNS is then setup following recommendations of Drupal Gardens documentation:

www.drizzle.org.        3371    IN      CNAME   drizzle.drupalgardens.com.
drizzle.drupalgardens.com. 3371 IN      A       204.236.232.77

I believe the motivation for this is that Drupal Gardens controls the
A record for drizzle.drupalgardens.com so they have some flexibility
to move it around as needed. (They run in EC2, obviously.)

The problem is we cannot assign the top domain drizzle.org as a CNAME
to drupalgardens. So therefore the website is now www.drizzle.org and
there is a http redirect from drizzle.org.
