OK - I'm not sure whats going on here... some people can see this domain, some can't :(

I did a check here:

http://www.webdnstools.com/dnstools/chk-domain

and got these results:

Name Server Glue
Server returned no 'glue' records Warn

Name Server Authority
Checking name server authority:
ns1.clrhost.com : query timed out
One or more name servers is not authoritative for this domain (or did not respond in time). Fail

So where does this problem lie? The registrar where I set the nameservers up or is it actually something to do with DirectAdmin?

It was all working well for a few months until today, I can't access any of the domains on my server... at first I thought it was just me, now it seems like it is intermittent depending upon who is looking at it.

On the same server for YAKKAWEBSITES.COM.AU - a reseller, I get this:

No name servers found for YAKKAWEBSITES.COM.AU.
Received answer from udns3.ausregistry.net.AU
A search was performed starting with the root servers, but no NS records were found for this domain.

Just trying to find out if this is a server error, or nameserver error :(
 
It's a common error. You forgot to add the "ns1" and "ns2" A records pointing to the addresses within both zones.
Nameservers must be configured at the registrar (for the glue record) because otherwise a client is not able to know their addresses, but any RFC client will check the "real" A records too.

Code:
$ dig +trace +additional clrhost.com
[...]
clrhost.com.		172800	IN	NS	ns1.clrhost.com.
clrhost.com.		172800	IN	NS	ns2.clrhost.com.
ns1.clrhost.com.	172800	IN	A	208.110.73.26
ns2.clrhost.com.	172800	IN	A	208.110.73.27
;; Received 97 bytes from 192.42.93.30#53(g.gtld-servers.net) in 180 ms

;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

$ dig +short ns1.clrhost.com. @208.110.73.26

Thanks tillo :)

So I add them like this?:

ns1.clrhost.com. A 208.110.73.26
ns2.clrhost.com. A 208.110.73.26
 
Hi tillo,

ive got a similar request...

Ive noticed a strange error just from a provider (Telecom Italia).

When user using that provider try to connect to www.allcrazy.net they cannot resolv the DNS (i tryed to let them piing www.allcrazy.net and resolv in 127.0.0.1 O_O)

If they try to connect on http://allcrazy.net everything work great..

No one else of my customer with different provider got this error...

Have you any idea about that?

Not really important but, i would like to understand why ^^

Thanks
 
Your nameservers are correctly configured, and I know about the 127.0.0.1 hack: in Italy a law passed a while ago allowing the governement to rapidly block any website by forcing the ISPs (Telecom Italia / Interbusiness included) to create a bogus authoritative zone in their nameservers.

They use it extensively for online gaming and other prohibited uses of the web, and they must have done it with yours for some reason. Probably an error.

Contact Telecom about that and in the meantime tell your customers on a Interbusiness line to use any international public nameserver (like Google's, 8.8.8.8). Those are not bent by that stupid (to be polite) law.
