Weird DNS Errors
Hey Guys,
I should start a Wierd Errors series like DrMike's Dumb Question series :P Well, basically I have a domain which usually works, the domain and zone's don't seem to load from my computer here, I've changed DNS servers and all but no luck, however pingdom and my VPSs return the correct addresses. Either way, one of the domain has the wrong glue records however the other has no glue records yet doesn't ping. Anyone know what could be the problem, the first is * . infinitymedia . org . uk. alpha . infinitymedia . org . uk actually has a record. The other domain is ns1 . mitihost . net. NSD which is what I use for the nameservers on my box returns no errors when I use the "nsdc rebuild" command. I cannot see any reason why it could be occuring.

I know one or more of the DNS servers is offline however it should work with some of them online, I'm kind of in a mess here. I understand that you guys might need more information, just ask me. I can't think straight :P

Hmm.. I'm a little more sane now! I've just remembered that the VPSs I tested with are the one's that host the DNS anyway so.. but that doesn't explain pingdom.
And the explanation for the 2nd domain not working is because it is pointed to ns1 . infinitymedia . org . uk which's DNS is presumably not working for some odd reason.
It's better to just focus on one domain, if one domain hosts the DNS and uses it's own nameservers, then try to get it working alone and once it's working correctly, you can then add it's nameservers to other domain/s.
And try that test it shows useful hints at what is missing in your records http://pingability.com
Let's at least call them "Weird Errors"
Yeah. It was working nicely before however someting happened and BAM. I guess it would help if I switched to HE or someting while I install and fix it all. Thanks for the help @Go59954.
Restart the vps which has the dns service running, it's one of the solution's for these crazy errors :-P
@SpeedBus Damn, my uptime record down the drain..
Anyway I guess I haven't and should try that when I get home and off this crappy phone. Although I'm pretty sure it wont make a difference. Thanks for the input
I think I misunderstood it earlier, did you mean you've changed ns1 & ns2 at your registrar for your domain name, into another DNS service like HE (or into NSD hosted at another box)?
If it's that simple, then you don't have any problems :X But just need to wait for up to 48 hours till the new change propagate to all locations worldwide. If it's working from pingdom and from another VPS, but not responding from your home, and you are below 48 hours since changing DNS, that simply means it's not fully propagated yet!
I am going to do so, nothing has been changed yet. They are all pointing to my DNS cluster, ns1-5.infinitymedia.org.uk are my box's.
I can see that my ISPs DNS seems to be playing up as always, need to get that fixed before anything.
As per the intodns result it appears that everything is working perfect now. Right?
It seems you've brought something back from the dead of November 2011. :P
Of course it does, 9 months on..
