title: domain won't resolve to aws ec2 - using route 53 and elastic ip
body: <p>I struggle to connect my domain to my ec2 instance, although I have read every post on the internet i could find about the subject:</p>
  
  <p>I am using Route 53 to route my domain to an Elastic IP, which is assigned to an EC2 Ubuntu 13.04 instance. nslookup for the domain from outside shows the Elastic IP address, but returns Server UnKnown.</p>
  
  <p>My setup is as follows:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Domain All four Route 53 delegation set entries added as nameserver,
  DNS lookup shows everything is distributed and fine</p></li>
  <li><p>Route 53: A record sets for domain.com and *.domain.com, pointing to
  the Elastic IP</p></li>
  <li><p>Elastic IP: Assigned to the EC2 Instance</p></li>
  <li><p>EC2 Instance: Ubuntu 13.04 with LAMP (MySQL disabled), vHost set for 
  *.domain.com and enabled, added 127.0.0.1 domain.com to etc/hosts file, everything restarted and set up</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Entering the Elastic IP or the direct Instance IP works just fine, only use of domain returns "Cannot resolve hostname".</p>
  
  <p>I would really appreciate any help on this.</p>
