CNAME alias not working

We recently got a CNAME entry created (lithiumstage.companyname.com) and pointed it to our staging server - companyname.stage.lithium.com.  We also got all of our developers machines white-listed.  Everything is working fine for the developers in our area except for me and another developer.  When we hit our alias URL - lithiumstage.companyname.com, it always results in a "Forum Maintenance" page.  I have tried clearing my browser cache, tried a different browser, tried re-booting my PC, and even changing my network password (thinking it's maybe an internal SSO thing).  But no luck.  Has anyone seen this problem before? 

 

 

  • Looks like we got it working.  It was a network device caching problem on our end.  If you hit CTRL-F5 it will put a special instruction in the HTTP header to force a refresh.  This is what solved our problem.
