i have a domain, and two servers. i run tinydns on both servers

all the sudden out of no where
the dns stops resolving, peroid.
when you whois the domain it says ns1.thenameserver.com
and ns2

just out of no where
i nslookup the domain
nothing comes up
node:/var/log# nslookup videogamescontest.com
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

** server can't find videogamescontest.com.: NXDOMAIN

node:/var/log# nslookup www.videogamescontest.com
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

** server can't find www.videogamescontest.com.: NXDOMAIN

I even create new dns entries
like

hello.videogamescontest.com

and then nslookup it, and nothign shows up. Why?

Does anyoneknow whats wrong?
i added more dns entries, for other domains for the name servers
and those resolve/work

all other domains work
What could cause this?

I run tinydns by the way.

I'm sure it is a problem with your registrar. I tried to whois, but netsol's server timed out.

# dig ns videogamescontest.com @a.gtld-servers.net

; <<>> DiG 9.1.0 <<>> ns videogamescontest.com @a.gtld-servers.net

pico /etc/resolv.conf
what is in there?

From whois:
Record expires on 10-Nov-2001.

dude
don't worry
my /etc/resolv.conf name servers are fine
ive changed them also
still same issue
others can't dns that domain either

All other domains that those two name servers work though..
Like i said, i run tinydns, so i added dns entrys for other domains that are in the tinydns config file
rehashed
nsllookup my.dns.entry
it worked
others could see it

but just this one domain is giving me a problem

Did you see that, clocker? Either your domain expired, or NetSol goofed.

Yes if you don't pay for your domains after a while NSI will block it from being live, even though the whois record still points to the right places.

thanks guys
