Dear Sir/Madam,
There was a mistake in my screenshot earlier, I did my tests on
extremepapers.com rather than xtremepapers.com. At the moment of writing,
now I do see an "A" record for papers.xtremepapers.com.

The DNS anomaly reported earlier lead me to believe it could be the reason
papers.xtremepapers.com was not accessible. I apologize for the confusion.
