title: Point subdomain to EC2 instance?
body: <p>I bought a domain with Google. I set up custom name servers to point the domain to Zeit.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Custom Name Servers</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>f.zeit-world.net</li>
  <li>d.zeit-world.com</li>
  <li>b.zeit-world.org</li>
  <li>a.zeit-world.co.uk</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Zeit controls the domain. I have spun up an EC2 instance with an elastic IP. I want to be able to point api.mydomain.com to the elastic IP using a CNAME.</p>
  
  <p><em>added fake elastic ip just for example</em>
  <code>now dns add mydomain.com api CNAME 194.119.279.121</code></p>
  
  <p>I am not sure why it's not being resolved, obviously, I am missing some information. The URL api.mydomain.com just hangs.</p>
  
  <p>Any insight into what step I am missing?</p>
