Okay, got a couple of leads

Post #313,548 by drook 9/4/09 2:46:16 PM Reply	Okay, got a couple of leads http://www.checkdns....er.com&detailed=1 CheckDNS.NET is asking root servers about authoritative NS for domain Answer from ns1.abac.com: domain 'blog.cooklikeyourgrandmother.com' not found Okay, so it seems to be at my host. Log on to the control panel and ... IMPORTANT: Your account is in process of being migrated. Any changes to your account, except for payment related information and support tickets will be disallowed until the migration is complete. Please note that access to all your hosting tools, except for webmail will be disallowed as well. Oh yeah, they're upgrading the hardware. But they specifically said DNS wasn't supposed to be affected. On hold with their support number now, we'll see how that goes. -- Drew

Post #313,551 by drook 9/4/09 3:08:56 PM Reply	Just got off the phone There's no reason this should have broken. They're moving my nameserver to another box. Okay, no problem. Set up the DNS records (including the cname) on the new box. Set the TTL on the old box to 5 min. Reset the entries on the old box to set the new one as authoritative. Leave them both in place for several days. Kill the old box. Am I missing something? I'm not a networking guy, but I thought this was a solved problem. -- Drew

If they don;t add in the Glue Records for ALL the possible entries, and especially things like CNAME entries get confused. Just do you know they only have a Glue record for ns1.abac.com not for ns2.abac.com (in fact ns2.abac.com is showing any IP address when a whois is done) I use Aplus for my domain name stuff... but host my own DNS authoritative server, to avoid these type of things. I also use dyndns paid secondary DNS hosting for scalability. Good luck. DNS is picky, especially lately with all the attention its been receiving about DNS SEC and the problems being caused by people trying to poison caches to exploit IE browser phishing hacks. If you do a "whois -H gregfolkert.net" you'll see the glue records as listed as my secondary DNS provider also publishes them directly as alternate IPs. `whois -H gregfolkert.net [snip] Domain servers in listed order: ns2.mydyndns.org 209.69.32.138 ns3.mydyndns.org 66.37.218.208,64.71.191.27 ns4.mydyndns.org 212.100.224.176 ns5.mydyndns.org 66.37.218.208,66.151.188.46 uno.gregfolkert.net 208.64.37.170`
Post #313,556 by drook 9/4/09 4:21:02 PM Reply	Supposedly they have glue records http://www.robtex.co...com.html#analysis That shows ns1.abac.com and ns2.abac.com being exactly the same. Looks like they're consolidating down to the one server ns1.aplus.net. And should I be seeing the cname for the subdomain in that list? -- Drew
Post #313,560 by folkert 9/4/09 5:16:57 PM Reply	Not in that one... But this one http://www.robtex.co...com.html#analysis I guess they do include everything. Oh well. I'm out of ideas.
