hey guys. i have a weird problem. I have 4 name servers

ns.web-spring.net
64.156.2.190

and

ns3.web-spring.net
64.156.2.230

are with one hosting company. while

ns1.web-spring.net
216.118.81.151

and

ns2.web-spring.net
216.118.81.152

are on another hosting company.

the problem is, when I ping ns3.web-spring.net it pings the same IP address as ns1.web-spring.net, which is not what the whois record shows the ip address shuold be. Any ideas on what is wrong? I called network solutions and they said its not them.

Well I did a ping, and an nslookup and they both show up correctly.

Perhaps it's a problem with your ISP's name servers....

I just did an nslookup using ns1.web-spring.net as the name server.... and it reports that ns.web-spring.net and ns3.web-spring.net are 216.118.81.150....

Which makes me wonder... perhaps you could post a copy of your dns zone file? That might help... also what is your servers machine name?

ok i was told to edit my dns zone file and add the following to it. Is this correct?



ns 1440 A 64.156.2.190
ns3 1440 A 64.156.2.190

thanks for any help

Yes that's correct except for ns3 should be, as per your previous post:

ns3 1440 A 64.156.2.230
