DNS Nightmare

[BrianUK]

I'm moving sites over to a new server and need help setting the NS.

In admin/ip manager i've got

11.111.111.111 free admin ns1.domain.co.uk 255.255.255.0
11.111.111.112 free admin ns1.domain.co.uk 255.255.255.0

In admin/administrator settings i've got

NS1 ns1.domain.co.uk
NS2 ns2.domain.co.uk

In reseller/ip management i've got

11.111.111.111 free ns1.domain.co.uk
11.111.111.112 free ns2.domain.co.uk

In reseller/nameservers i've got

11.111.111.111 free ns1.domain.co.uk
11.111.111.112 free ns2.domain.co.uk
11.111.111.113 server 10

No i've tried add new domains via restoring backup and by creating fresh but the domains do not resolve to the server even locally via ssh. I updated the domains NS via registrar ages ago (over the 72 hours) and although the changes are showing on whois still no joy.

Just to note that using registrar's NS and using IP pointers the domains resolve fine.

Someone please help before I break something

PS OS Debian Sarge
IP's and domains have been changed for security

11.111.111.111 is not a routable IP#.

appologies

ns1.1net1.co.uk 78.129.140.157
ns2.1net1.co.uk 78.129.140.158

domain name 1net1.co.uk

thanks

It appears that the uk root servers don't have entries for either ns1 or for ns2.

You need to register them as nameservers at the same place where you registered the 1net1.co.uk domain.

i've done that but still no go, any other ideas?

Check with your registrar. They're not registered:

$ dig @a.root-servers.net ns1.1net1.co.uk

returns a list of second level nameservers to check:

And when I check one of these servers:

dig @NS3.NIC.uk ns1.1net1.co.uk

The return tells me that ns1.1net1.co.uk is responsible for giving me it's A record (which is impossible since I don't know where to go to ask it):

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> @NS3.NIC.uk ns1.1net1.co.uk

1net1.co.uk.            172800  IN      NS      ns1.1net1.co.uk.

Only the registrar where you registered 1net1.co.uk can help you.

I've gotten a bit further with this but still need some help, is there anyone who would be willing to spare a few minutes on msn? I know it's going to a be a quick fix as i've obviously made a config error somewhere.

thanks

I don't mind.
