CNAME in Heroku - what to use for alias?

I am trying to use a custom domain in Heroku, but the instructions are not working for me.

Heroku instructions are at https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains

I changed CNAME at my host to several things, because the instructions in Heroku are really unclear.

For CNAME alias, I tried several things:

  1. www.example.com
  2. example.com
  3. www
  4. proxy.heroku.com

And for my address, they all point to the same thing: www.morning-harbor.herokuapp.com

I use moniker.com's DNS servers. However, when I try on the command line

host www.example.com

It points me to my old virtual server IP address, not Heroku or moniker.com

Which one is the right CNAME alias to use?
