DNS Error

[Pikeypete]

I seem to be having a problem with my DNS setting and to be honest I'm not very good in this department so I'm hoping for a little guidance for the smarter guys on here.

I've ran several DNS checks and this is what I get:

Retrieving DNS records for milledrive.net...

DNS servers
ns2.warez-project.net
ns1.warez-project.net
Query for DNS records for milledrive.net failed: Address not available

And the screenshot of the DNS section:
http://i53.tinypic.com/250tp9i.jpg

I have two IPs, 178.239.50.30 and 178.239.50.31 on a dedicated server the only downside being my knowledge in the department is lacking.
Am I missing something? Should I be adding the second IP somewhere?
Any help would be TRULY appreciated.

Kindest regards.

The name servers need to be resolvable. You need A records for the name servers in the warez-project.net zone. Recursive lookups should work, but you'll get intermittent/weird problems if the ns' aren't resolvable. They can be ncached in other name servers.

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, this is new to me.

Do you mean like this?:
I added two, NS1 and NS2 with both server IPs:

Thank you

Wrong zone for those A records there.

What you have reads as ns1.milledrive.net and ns2.milledrive.net for the A records. You can either change your NS records to read as ns1.milledrive.net and ns2.milledrive.net or you need to add A records for the NS servers in the warez-project.net zone at this point.

I tested it again but IF it's correct I'm sure it may take a while to clear.

Almost.

You need something like this in the warez-project.net zone.

ns1.warez-project.net.    A   178.239.50.30
ns2.warez-project.net.    A   178.239.50.31

Right now you just have two A records for the domain. Your trying to add A records for your name servers. Thus, you have to specify the hosts as ns1 and ns2 and their associated A records.

Here's another DNS tool I like. It's a little broken sometimes when you click links, but it's very thorough. I just use a fake email address...

I'd like to thank you greatly for your help and knowledge, that last info you gave me worked perfectly.

Thank you



Pete.

I'd beg you to use real address information when using Infoblox free services; if it's important to you, then create a separate email address just for them.

Cricket Liu is Infoblox's Vice President of Architecture and serves as a liaison between Infoblox and the DNS community. He gives a lot of free help, and is an acknowledged expert (oreillynet.com) on all things DNS. Almost everything I know about DNS I learned from Cricket's books. At the very least I'd honor all he does for the community by accepting his terms when I take from him.

If you wan to test DNS at no cost, without giving your email address, a good choice is IntoDNS (intodns.com).
