hi,  
i have a domain name registered with 1and1. now ive read that in order  
to have my images stored on s3 and have my domain name in the url of the  
image address, i need to create a cname. now do i create a subdomain on  
1and1 and then the cname and put amazons address in the alias + create  
a bucket with the subdomain name that i choose?

thanks.
