Is that 172,800 seconds? I guess I must just wait. Another problem I having:
My webserver (apache2) is on a remote VPS (69.162.73.74) and wish to
point people visiting http://www.jesujuva.org and http://jesujuva.org
there, and I want a subdomain me.mydomain.org for my local DSL IP
(66.207.132.65) so I guess I should contact ISP again and ask them to
change the reverse DNS from "jesujuva.org" to "me.jesujuva.org" right?
I made a CNAME to get the web working and set the TTL to 30 minutes
and waited 90 minutes but when I go to http://www.jesujuva.org Firefox
says:

Unable to connect: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server
at www.mydomain.org

I can connect though if I specify the IP address: http://69.162.73.74

Here are my DNS zone records (I use GoDaddy's Domain Manager to make
changes). Anyone know what I should change to make things work?

GoDaddy Domain Manager - Domain Details

Domain is not forwarded.

Total DNS: (Available)
ARecord 	@ 	66.207.132.65
CNAME 	www 	@
CNAME 	calendar 	ghs.google.com
CNAME 	mail 	ghs.google.com
MX 	@ 	aspmx.l.google.com
MX 	@ 	alt1.aspmx.l.google.com
MX 	@ 	alt2.aspmx.l.google.com

The google stuff is in there since I registered via Google Apps they
handle my domain's mail.
