Hi Krystian,

You might want to try http://www.checkdns.net

Look for forwarding/redirectioning reports... If it doesn't have it, it 
is probably not forwarded.

I have two domains -- asenseofart.com and asenseofdesign.com -- pointing 
to another -- asenseof.net -- so you might use them for comparison purposes.

Hope that helps.

Roberto
