That would qualify as "misleading" in my book. OK, I'll grant the sometimes misleading part...although most experienced admins are smart enough to discern the difference between suggestions/opinions (both of which dnsreport sometimes offer and critical values which are broken and need to be fixed. It's odd that you speak up seemingly against dnsreport, as a dnsreport.com analysis of your own domain shows several problems worth noting. http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=greenbuilder.com 1) One of the name servers (ns3.greenbuilder.com. [24.234.47.110]) listed at the parent servers is not responding. Len and Jeremy: if there anything "wrong at worst and misleading , confusing logorrhea at best" with that bit of data? Is it worth knowing? 2) ERROR: One or more of the nameservers listed at the parent servers are not listed as NS records at your nameservers. The problem NS records are: ns2.one4allhosting.com. Len and Jeremy: if there anything "wrong at worst and misleading , confusing logorrhea at best" with that bit of data? Is it worth knowing? 3) Duplicate MX records WARNING: You only have duplicate MX records. This means that mailservers may try delivering mail to the same IP more than once. Although technically valid, this is very confusing, and wastes resources. The duplicate MX records are: mail.greenbuilder.com. and mail.greenbuilder.com. both resolve to 205.238.129.197. Len and Jeremy: if there anything "wrong at worst and misleading , confusing logorrhea at best" with that bit of data? Is it worth knowing? In a span of the 15-20 seconds it took to go to www.dmsreport.com, type in greenbuilder.com, hit enter, and wait for the results...we have a birds eye view of several issues (all of which spending a couple of minutes doing whois's and digs will confirm. I couldn't make a better case and point. --Mike
