New addon domain works except with www

I had a site hosted on Dreamhost that I wanted to transfer to HostingRails so I set it all up and it worked fine. Then I changed the Dreamhost DNS registration to point to HostingRails' name servers. The addon domain I added in cPanel doesn't include www in its name. So now when I visit domain.com it works fine using my HostingRails account, but when I type www.domain.com it still accesses the old Dreamhost server. Is this Dreamhost's fault, i.e. are they keeping a www record in their DNS? Or is my cPanel addon domain not configured correctly?

Thanks,
Reed

Hi Reed - its typical for domain.com to work much faster than www.domain.com during the propagation time.  Give it time and it'll work :)  If you changed the nameservers then routers will look to hostingrails for your zone file and nowhere else.  All new zone files have www. and no www. setup automatically.
