Hello,

The first thing that you have forgotten is to open the web site. Ok your resolving is ok, but the request is made to the web server when you try to open a web site. So you have to check the Apache configuration. If you know the content of the web site , then you could check that:

From the local server:

1. ping $domain
2. lynx $domain

From your (administrative pc)

1. ping domain
2. browser request to the domain

If everything is ok. Then you could ask your customer for some additional
assistance . The customer could try to open the web site using a proxy. Then
he/she will be sure that you have done everything and will wait for the
DNS propagation(or could flush the dns entries/ ask the ISP for refresh).

Best Regards
