Must use www for DNS entry using Amazon Route53

Question

I administered my domain e.g www.abcd.com in Amazon Route53. Everything works perfectly, except that when user type abcd.com without www, it won\'t get resolved. Any idea? Thank

For Goddady domain migrated to AWS, I took the basic configuration for domain.com and modified it a bit.

Search for somethin like this in your record set:

Name: domain.com (or www.domain.com)
Type: A - IPv4 address
Alias: No
Value: a_random_ip_address

I just added a new record set with:

Name: www.domain.com (or domain.com)
Type: A - IPv4 address
Alias: No
Value: a_random_ip_address

Remember afterwards to add www to your server (nginx, apache, etc)
