Search Again: Missing A records and slow resolution From: Mia''s Virtual Post Office Date: Monday, December 13, 1999 Time: 4:05:00 am Hello, I have a new colo customer that has about 30 or so domains that he transferred here. We changed the NS records to reflect our Name Servers and the new InterNIC info, etc. The customer, as well as some of his customers are complaining of latency or difficulty in getting to their site/s. At first I thought this was a Web* VHosts problem, (though I think VH may still be causing some problems as it takes Web* on this machine about 5 minutes to startup) but after looking at all the Zone files he emailed us, I noticed that most have no A Records. I also ran DNS Expert on some of the domains an it reported it couldn't find the authoritative DNS server for the domain. I think the problem may stem from the fact that there is no A record for most of these domains, just CNAMEs. Is there an RFC that stipulates the need for A records? Also, what else would cause this problem? jer "On a day no different than the one now dawning, Leonardo drew the first strokes of the Mona Lisa, Shakespeare wrote the first words of Hamlet, and Beethoven began work on his Ninth Symphony." And Windows98 Crashed! Hey, I bought my Apple Stock @ $18, WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!!!
