Hi everybody,

I am trying to use zoneedit dns in addition to my dns as slave backup server.

My initial ns are:

ns1.hostingcompany.com
ns2.hostingcompany.com

So, I will use like that:

ns1.hostingcompany.com
ns2.hostingcompany.com
ns1.zoneedit.com
ns2.zoneedit.com

I set up all configuration.Then, I checked it from İntodns. It said that:

INFO: GLUE was not sent when I asked your nameservers for your NS records.This is ok but you should know that in this case an extra A record lookup is required in order to get the IPs of your NS records. The nameservers without glue are:
76.74.236.21
72.9.106.68
You can fix this for example by adding A records to your nameservers for the zones listed above.

These adresess blong to ns1.zoneedit.com and ns2.zoneedit.com

I thought that I had to add A record for ns1.zoneedit.com and ns2.zoneedit.com in my master dns zone. Like that

ns1.zoneedit.com IN A 76...
ns2.zoneedit.com IN A 72

But I could not do it with DNS Manager.

Should I do like that:

ns1.zoneedit.com. 76...

or

ns1.zoneedit.com 76..

or none of them :)

Thanks for your attention.
 
If the IP#s belong to zoneedit.com, then you'll have to ask them why they don't supply glue for them.

However it appears those IP#s do NOT belong to zoneedit:
Code:
$ dig @a.gtld-servers.net ns1.zoneedit.com +short
207.234.185.99
$ dig @a.gtld-servers.net ns2.zoneedit.com +short
69.72.158.226

do they belong to you? They do NOT belong to hostingcompany.com:
Code:
$ dig @a.gtld-servers.net ns1.hostingcompany.com +short
$ dig @a.gtld-servers.net ns2.hostingcompany.com +short
shows that there are no such records for hostingcompany.com.

Did you intentionally mislead us by giving us the nameserver information for some other company instead of your own? If so, then you really can't expect us to be able to help you. Please don't waste our time with incorrect information. Please read this for more information.
