Link to a forum : Using a domain from Yahoo

First comment from this forum :

"I currently own a Yahoo domain which I would like to use to mask a subdomain that I own with Dreamhosts.
My Yahoo domain is www.madaboutmaple.com, I've set up madaboutmaple.o2fan.com (o2fan.com is my dreamhost hosted server).

The Non-editable DreamHost DNS records For madaboutmaple.o2fan.com are:

Record (o2fan.com zone) Type Value
madaboutmaple A 208.97.162.117
ftp.madaboutmaple A 208.97.162.117
www.madaboutmaple A 208.97.162.117

I logged into my Yahoo cpanel and changed www.madaboutmaple.com and madaboutmaple.com to A records to point to 208.97.162.117.
However, everytime I attempt to go to www.madaboutmaple.com, I recieve this error page:

Site Temporarily Unavailable
We apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact the webmaster/ tech support immediately to have them rectify this.

error id: "bad_httpd_conf"

However, madaboutmaple.o2fan.com works fine.

Here are all my DNS (forums.madaboutmaple.com are pointing to a remotly hosted forum, this works fine):

A Record *.madaboutmaple.com 208.97.162.117
A Record forums.madaboutmaple.com 209.85.12.235
A Record madaboutmaple.com 208.97.162.117
A Record mail.madaboutmaple.com 208.97.132.20
A Record www.madaboutmaple.com 208.97.162.117
CNAME Record *.madaboutmaple.com Yahoo!Hostname

I've even changed my Yahoo nameservers to the following:

Primary ns1.dreamhost.com
Secondary ns2.dreamhost.com
Additional ns3.dreamhost.com

I hope that I've provided enough information for a solution to this problem!

Thank you very much for your time and any assistance provided,

Manoz"
