301 Redirect Confusion

I had a redirect from www.sixteenbynine.co.uk to a tumblr-hosted blog, but then wanted to point it towards a slightly jazzier www.sixteenbynine.ohyeahmetoo.co.uk. I did a 301 redirect in CPanel, I deleted the A records in CPanel, but I'm blowed if I can figure out why it's not redirecting.

I then tried pointing it back to tumblr, but now I just get a nasty 404.

Help me, stackoverflow, you're my only hope.

The documentation is your only hope :)

Custom domains that are three or more levels deep (e.g. www.mywebsite.com or blog.mywebsite.com) need to their CNAME record to domains.tumblr.com

This explains why your first domain redirect worked, but the second failed.
