Search Again: Re: Something has screwed up totally... From: Men & Mice Support Date: Thursday, December 4, 2003 Time: 12:17:46 pm The registration for stadpatrullen.com appears to be screwed up, pretty much as you said - there's no DNS server listed in the whois database, and there's no record at all listed in the com zone. Your ability to connect to it without the "www" is anomalous. I was able to reproduce the error for macsystem.se, but not for knivstaisolering.com - this one looks fine to me. Check the zone options for macsystem.se on the slave server and make sure it has the correct master server IP address. Since this problem is apparently widespread among your zones, you should try to figure out if it's the same cause in all cases, and if so, what you can do to fix it and to prevent it in the future. If you need to change the master server IP address in a large quantity of zones, we can help you do this using a shell command on the slave server. The message about all name servers for the zone being on the same subnet is caused by the fact that both of your name servers have IP addresses in the same class C subnet. If you have BGP with redundant connections, or multiple smaller subnets with different routing that just happen to be in the same class C subnet, then this is no problem at all. Otherwise, you might want to consider addressing this single point of failure (your router) at some point. None of these problems have anything to do with the data in the zones themselves. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy At 9:00 PM +0100 12/4/03, Andreas Carlsson wrote: >Please help! > >Something has gone really bad with our nameservers... > >I don't know when or how, but a lookup with the "DNS Expert" tool >(great tool btw) gives this result on four different domains: > > knivstaisolering.com > Non-authoritative data received from the server "ns2.kicknick.net." > > macsystem.se > Non-authoritative data received from the server "ns2.kicknick.net." > > stadpatrullen.com > "stadpatrullen.com." does not seem to be registered anywhere* > > aslsweden.com > All name servers for the zone are on the same subnet.** > > >All look the same in QDNS!
