Search Again: Re: Non-authoritative server From: Matthew Fosberg Date: Thursday, May 13, 2004 Time: 8:44:05 pm Here's my results so far: Checked all spelling and for any obvious errors of that sort, and found none, of course it's still possible I'm just not seeing one that is there. I got DNS Expert Pro and queried the server from both the server itself and from another computer on my local network. Both report as receiving authoritative answers from mattcave.bohemianfreecorps.com. I am in the process of having a friend check on what he sees when he connects from his home, but I probably won't find out until tomorrow. Meanwhile, DNSstuff.com still reports my server as being non-authoritative. A couple of things that might have relevance. 1. When I try to log on to the server from the machine itself with QuickDNS manager it will only allow me to do so when I use the internal IP address of the computer it is on 192.168.1.10. If I try the public IP, or the server name I get an error stating I cannot log on to the server. 2. I am not using this server for my own DNS purposes, (other than providing DNS for one of my domains and a friends) I use my ISP's DNS for my own computers, so nothing inside my personal network should be querying the server. I also do not have the reverse zone configured to point to my static IP, and I know that my ISP will not delegate that to me. Could either of these be related to my problem?
