I have a client who requested a subdomain, subdomain is http://ar.vegnews.org
Some time after creation of subdomain client reported me that he can't see this subdomain.
I've checked - it works from different points. So I concluded that it is problem on client side or with his provider.

When client asked his provider - response was that "the name server not pointing to each other"

What does this mean?

And can you see the subdomain?

Thank you in advance.

Yes, I can view that subdomain and no, that doesn't make sense. If the domain is working then the nameservers are working. Nameservers shouldn't have anything to do with subdomains if the domain is working.

the sub-domains works for me. i have no clue what "the name server not pointing to each other" means.

I've talked to my client and he provider saied that: "site's DNS servers can not resolve each other, but they can resolve the
domain"

I think your parent domain veghost.com has its nameservers screwed up.

You have listed ns1/ns2.veghost.com as your authoritative nameservers in root dB but a DNS query of veghost.com is revealing a different set of nameservers.

Also they are on different servers which is nothing wrong provided your DNS is allright. Your site veghost.com is resolving to 64.247.1.93 .

Your nameservers for veghost.com in internic whois are

NS1.veghost.com. [64.247.1.93] [TTL=172800]
NS2.veghost.com. [64.247.8.190] [TTL=172800]

Open WHM and select Edit DNS zone -> veghost.com

And then change the DNS zone of veghost.com
as SOA ns1.veghost.com and ns2.veghost.com

[get rid of the present two nameservers in your zone records namely: ns1.yourprovider.com and ns2.yourprovider.com]

And after that is done, edit the DNS zone of vegnews.org and add an A record poting ar.vegnews.org to the.ip.you.want. Do it through WHM so you dont have to restart BIND.

If this doesn't help email me at balaji@valai.net
