I was responding only to the wording of the error message that you and Len were arguing so vehmently about. And yes, I do agree with Len that the wording is misleading. >1) One of the name servers (ns3.greenbuilder.com. [24.234.47.110]) >listed at the parent servers is not responding. Thank you for pointing this one out to me. I find it strange that you came up with that IP address, since that was supposedly changed last August. So, you found a real problem. Now, how do I go about tracking down where it's wrong, and getting it corrected? >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. ns2.one4allhosting.com is the same IP as ns3.greenbuilder.com (or should be... see above). The reason for the ns3 name is simply to avoid confusing hosting clients. Most of them don't really need to know that we have a reciprocal DNS agreement with one4allhosting.com, why that is of benefit to them, etc etc. If there is any actual problem with this practice (assuming the host is properly defined, of course), please let me know. >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. The result of discontinuing use of a live backup mail server due to spam relay concerns. True, I probably should just remove the dupe and I probably will at some point, but I can't see where it is all that confusing nor how it could waste much in the way of resources. -- Bill Christensen http://greenbuilder.com/contact/ Green Building Professionals Directory: http://directory.greenbuilder.com Sustainable Building Calendar: http://www.greenbuilder.com/calendar/ Green Real Estate: http://www.greenbuilder.com/realestate/ Straw Bale Registry: http://sbregistry.greenbuilder.com/ Books/videos/software: http://bookstore.greenbuilder.com/
