I have recently setup Wordpress Multisite and have that working well. Now to complete the branding, I want to use feeds.mydomain.com for the MyBrand integration to Feedburner. I have setup the CNAME to point to the server that Feedburner has specified, but when I visit the site (after ensuring the entry could propagate), WordPress takes over thinking I want to create a new website. I am guessing this is a DNS issue, but I am not sure where to begin to troubleshoot this further.

It's definitely a DNS cache issue. I just tried a different computer and it worked. I didn't think about that until after I posted this.

This is probably a DNS issue. Make sure feeds.mydomain.com points to Feedburner. You can easily check it running a DNS query.

With Linux/MacOSX, use the dig command.

$ dig feeds.engadget.com

You can also run a DNS query using an online service, e.g. DNS Query. The DNS response should be a CNAME record pointing to ghs.l.google.com. If it is an A record, the DNS hasn't been property set.
