Phy,

Thanks for your comment but from the OP:

When you point your browser to www.example.com (obviously not
"example") the page on web.me.com loads properly but www.example.com is 
still displayed in the address bar.

The use of the word "still" clearly points to some type of confusion 
about rewrite and dns.

Regards.
