Hi I am running Bind8 on my server and one of my domains hosted on the server cannot be reached. flash.as

Over 12 hours ago I noticed the problem. I have rebooted the server, restarted bind, deleted and replaced the zone file for flash.as but it still is not working.

The thing is, if I

dig @localhost flash.as

I get back a good record for the domain. But no one else seems to be able to get back a DNS record for the domain from my server. If I use the samspade.org tools, it brings up the correct whois record from AS-NIC's whois with the correct nameserver details for the domain.

But, I wonder where the problem is? The primary name server IP was changed a few days ago, and the secondary name server IP is currently wrong (points to an old IP number - need to get AS-NIC to change that IP next week). I wonder if there is some sort of database problem at AS-NICs end? Because, I made similar changes for the nameserver records for other domains with AS-NIC and they are all finding my DNS server and resolving fine.

I am really quite lost over it. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

BTW, my primary DNS is
NS1.NEATURL.COM 209.123.61.15

What do you get when you start bind. If you check messages error log, it should say if it was loaded, or if there was an error. Also you might just want to give it another day or two.

hmmm.... this is what I get on a whois lookup at the ASNIC root

whois flash.as@whois.nic.as
[whois.nic.as]
ASNIC Whois Server

Name: flash.as
Registered by: Eliter Networks
Nameservers: ns1.neaurl.com (209.123.61.15)
ns2.neaturl.com (65.156.0.15)


Note the mis-spelling of ns1.neaturl.com... missing "t"
That combined with the wrong (old) IP for ns2 means that you don't have any valid nameservers listed in the root for flash.as
so... it won't work, except for those who would be defaulting to using your nameservrs. (you)
