I have this strange problem with skybrud redirects. I get "tried to redirect too many times"
i have a "dummy" site that redirects all http requests that might be a problem

Generally we prefer to set it up the other way around - so that
site.com
redirects to
www.site.com
. One major reason for this is that A records can only point to an IP address, whereas a CNAME can point to another domain. So we typically have the client create a CNAME for
www.site.com
pointing to an internal domain that we can control - eg. if we need to move the site to another server or something like that. Then we can do it without the client having to change anything.
In relation to Skybrud Redirects, I'm inclined to say that is probably more an issue with your setup than the package it self.
