With DNS Expert's DNS query tool, or with any other such utility. DNS Expert formats the output (and the input options) nicely. Start by querying a root server, such as f.root-servers.net: 213.in-addr.arpa. NS ns.ripe.net. 213.in-addr.arpa. NS ns.eu.net. 213.in-addr.arpa. NS auth00.ns.uu.net. 213.in-addr.arpa. NS ns3.nic.fr. 213.in-addr.arpa. NS sunic.sunet.se. 213.in-addr.arpa. NS munnari.oz.au. 213.in-addr.arpa. NS ns.apnic.net. 213.in-addr.arpa. NS svc00.apnic.net. Then follow up by querying one of these servers, such as ns.ripe.net: 213.in-addr.arpa. NS ns.ripe.net. 213.in-addr.arpa. NS ns.eu.net. 213.in-addr.arpa. NS auth00.ns.uu.net. 213.in-addr.arpa. NS ns3.nic.fr. 213.in-addr.arpa. NS sunic.sunet.se. 213.in-addr.arpa. NS munnari.oz.au. 213.in-addr.arpa. NS ns.apnic.net. 213.in-addr.arpa. NS svc01.apnic.net. Note that it agrees with the root server. When it's queried for 219.213.in-addr.arpa, though, it gives an SOA record for 213.in-addr.arpa. This indicates that, while it is authoritative for the parent zone, it has no record of this zone (219.213.in-addr.arpa). Querying for 39.219.213.in-addr.arpa gives a simpler, more direct way of saying there's no such beast. DNS Expert displays it as: The host or domain "39.219.213.in-addr.arpa." does not exist One of these latter two queries should lead to delegation records pointing to your co-lo provider. >> oxford.ldml.com isn't responding at all. Maybe that's the problem...? >> Or are you working on it right now? > >Should be. Problem is that QDNS Pro its not picking up the secondary data so >doesn't have anything to respond with. You should be able to ping it on >213.219.39.178. QDNS Pro is running OK. Yes, I can ping it. No, I can't get a response to a DNS query from it. It should respond indicating that it doesn't know the answer, since it hasn't yet pulled a copy of the zone. Are you sure that QuickDNS Pro Server, and not Admin, is currently running on it? ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
