Hi,

I have a very strange problem in my vps and that is
1- I can't ping my nameserver (my nameserve is ns1.bazykon.com)
2-my websites are only available if I add google's dns in my netwrok settings
[8.8.8.8] and [8.8.4.4]
even I've checked the proxy websites like phproxy to surf my websites and yet they are not available.
my os : debian 5
I am using : DirectAdmin.

could you please help thats so crucial for me.
regards.
 
It seems ns1.bazykon.com has no A record in DNS:

Code: 
nslookup ns1.bazykon.com
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53

** server can't find ns1.bazykon.com: NXDOMAIN
 
any guess about my configuration?
actually before I had centos and kloxo and I could ping my nameserver
but for some reason I've change my server to debian and directadmin from that moment I'm not able ping my nameserver.
where can I find configuration about nameserver?

regards.
 
Run the following command directly from your server:
Code: 
$ dig +trace ns1.bazykon.com
You'll see no servers could be reached.

Check to see if the nameservers are registered at your registrar:
Code: 
$ dig @a.gtld-servers.net ns1.bazykon.com
$ dig @a.gtld-servers.net ns2.bazykon.com
Both nameservers use the same IP# (not a good idea), but they are registered.
The following:
Code: 
$ dig @ns1.bazykon.com bazykon.com
returns: dig: couldn't get address for 'ns1.bazykon.com': not found.
So check to see if there are A records for ns1.bazykon.com and for ns2.bazykon.com on your nameservers if you check by IP#:
Code: 
$ dig @207.182.159.8 ns1.bazykon.com[/code
This returns connection timed out; no servers could be reached.
But pinging the IP works:
Code: 
$ ping 207.182.159.8
So you most likely have one or both of these two issues to resolve:

1) your nameserver isn't running. The way to check for this is to run (on your server, through a shell logins):
Code: 
$ ping @localhost bazykon.com
2) your firewall isn't allowing DNS records through. For example, by default, Red Hat and CentOS do NOT open the firewall for DNS. I don't know if Debian does or not.

To open the firewall for DNS you need to open port 53, both inbound and outbound, for both TCP/IP and UDP. If you don't know how to fix this, then check out one of the several firewalls for DirectAdmin discussed on these forums; they all should have DNS open by default.

Once DNS is working from outside your firewall, check to make sure you've got A records in your bazykon.com zone file for ns1 and for ns2.
