DNAME?  What's that?

The IP address is set correctly in the registrar/DNS, but at least my
personal DNS still seems to be pointing to the old server.
www.formencode.org seems to work fine... editing /etc/hosts gets me the
404.  Probably this is some configuration on readthedocs.org to map domain
names to projects?

Hmm, I don't think my DNS provider supports that, but I suspect that is not
the issue in this case, as the request gets to readthedocs.org, it's the
server that's giving the 404.

The webserver at readthedocs.org needs the canonical name 
(formencode.readthedocs.org) for resolving the project. This works only 
with a CNAME entry or probably with DNAME as well.

Funny... I'm not sure if there's a good solution, so I just set up
formencode.org to redirect to www.formencode.org
