Hi there,

I'm experiencing a weired situation.

First, I'm using the same IP address for ns1 and ns2.
Obviously all the domains resolve on my server and if you can't reach one IP (say ns1) ,. .it is unlikely you will reach the other (ns2). The server has only one Network card. Either you can reach both IPs or None. So that is a non-issue.
It is a working solution, saves on IPs etc.

Second,. and this is where my problem is:

Looking through DA and /var/named/domain.com.db I see the correct values:


bess.hosites.com:/var/named # less hosites.com.db
$TTL 14400
@ IN SOA ns1.hosites.com. root.hosites.com. (
2005013100
7200
3600
1209600
86400 )

hosites.com. 14400 IN NS ns1.hosites.com.
hosites.com. 14400 IN NS ns2.hosites.com.

ftp 14400 IN A 212.199.214.164
hosites.com. 14400 IN A 212.199.214.164
localhost 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1
mail 14400 IN A 212.199.214.164
pop 14400 IN A 212.199.214.164
www 14400 IN A 212.199.214.164

hosites.com. 14400 IN MX 10 mail



hosites.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx ip4:212.199.214.164 ~all"


So it all seems nice and working.
There are A reocrds. MX records, the works.

However, when I run

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=hosites.com&type=ALL

I don't get to see all this wonderful information.

On the other hand,.. another domain residing on my server, DOES SHOW the correct information.

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=pokemon.org.il&type=ALL


bess.hosites.com:/var/named # less pokemon.org.il.db





$TTL 14400
@ IN SOA ns1.hosites.com. root.pokemon.org.il. (
2005020701
7200
3600
1209600
86400 )

pokemon.org.il. 14400 IN NS ns1.hosites.com.
pokemon.org.il. 14400 IN NS ns2.hosites.com.

ftp 14400 IN A 212.199.214.165
localhost 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1
mail 14400 IN A 212.199.214.165
pokemon.org.il. 14400 IN A 212.199.214.165
pop 14400 IN A 212.199.214.165
www 14400 IN A 212.199.214.165

pokemon.org.il. 14400 IN MX 10 mail



pokemon.org.il. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx ip4:212.199.214.164 ~all"


A third domain residing on the server has the following:

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=c4deadsee.com&type=ALL


bess.hosites.com:/var/named # less c4deadsee.com.db





$TTL 14400
@ IN SOA ns1.hosites.com. root.c4deadsee.com. (
2005021200
7200
3600
1209600
86400 )

c4deadsee.com. 14400 IN NS ns1.hosites.com.
c4deadsee.com. 14400 IN NS ns2.hosites.com.

c4deadsee.com. 14400 IN A 212.199.214.167
ftp 14400 IN A 212.199.214.167
localhost 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1
mail 14400 IN A 212.199.214.167
pop 14400 IN A 212.199.214.167
www 14400 IN A 212.199.214.167

c4deadsee.com. 14400 IN MX 10 mail



c4deadsee.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx ip4:212.199.214.164 ~all"



So the information in the named is the same, but outside those files.. something is preventing the world from seeing it.

Those domains were added over a week ago,. so it is not a propagation issue, at least not that I'm a aware of.

Is there a failure in the Named service that isn't getting refreshed or loaded even though it shows as if it does?

Could use your assistance with that.
OH.. VERY IMPORTANT!!!

Unfortunatly, we had to change primary IP addresses 3 times!
It is likely that something got 'dirty' and didn't change, but other than the /var/named/ files I just pasted here, I don't know where to seek.

Thanks for any input,

-Alon.
 
Could you post your named.conf? And what OS ar you running on? FreeBSD ?

Hmm, i see you already solved it since the report turns out fine now.
