The real name doesn't matter. Your DNS provider must have a reverse entry in
the DNS server, which points back to the IP-address, not the real name.
lets say, your server is at 192.168.0.1, then you'll have a CNAME for
www.yozons.com pointing to the real name and a reverse entry, which
says, that www.yozons.com has the IP 192.168.0.1. Without this reverse
entry, no AOL client will be able to acesss the site. Ask your DNS
provider, if he has setup a reverse entry. If not, this can easily be
done. Just a matter of seconds and the name server is updated and AOL
users will be able to access the site.
