This is on my dns server. please assume x.x are hidden numbers and example.com is real
Code:
----- named.conf snip -----
ip92-254.sc-nj-us IN A x.x.92.254
web3 IN CNAME ip92-254.sc-nj-us
mx2 IN CNAME ip92-254.sc-nj-us
ns1 IN CNAME ip92-254.sc-nj-us
---------------------------------
From a box off site, no relation what so ever.
please note that ns1.other-place.com is using the same zone file as me.
Code:
----- whois -------------------
#whois example.com
Authorative name servers-
ns1.example.com x.x.92.254
ns1.other-place.com x.x.x.x
-------------------------------
Query the authorative name server directly.(which seems to work)
Code:
> host mx2.example.com x.x.92.254
Using domain server x.x.92.254:
mx2.debtresolve.com is a nickname for ip92-254.sc-nj-us.example.com
ip92-254.sc-nj-us.example.com has address x.x.92.254
but....
Code:
ping ip92-254.sc-nj-us.example.com
ping: cannot resolve ip92-254.sc-nj-us.example.com: Unknown host
ping mx2.example.com
ping: cannot resolve mx2.example.com: Unknown host
I found
www.dnsreport.com pointed out a few things that i was doing, that I thought i was allowed to... i wasn't
