DNS and URL forwarding

4 domains pointing to ISP hosted site

Hi, I have looked for the answer to this but can't find it and am getting desperate!

I offered to help a friend with his website and have ended up with sleepless nights.

Basically, he owned the domain alumniadl.co.uk which points at his website on the space provided by his ISP. We registered alumniyearbooks.co.uk and .com and alumnidiaries.co.uk and .com with Total, THEN realised that they don't do URL forwarding. So, we moved the dns records to public-dns.org and set up url forwarding or so we thought. When we type the new URLs into a browser we now get this error....

<10061 - Connection refused Internet Security and Acceleration Server>

We seem to get as far as the redirection server at public-dns, then nada.

...it may be something very simple due to lack of sleep but I'd REALLY appreciate any help offered.
Below is a list of the records and a sample of the cloaking used (same for all 4 domains). Can you help?
Many thanks,
Simon

Welcome to WebmasterWorld BaggaZee!

You should not post actual URLs. You should instead use www.example.com. I don't have an answer for you. This space is for newbies and this is not a newbie question. You probaly want to repost your question in Website Technology Issue Forum [webmasterworld.com...]
