Nameserver Issues Again

I have my nameservers setup for the domain rookiehack.com, as

jake.rookiehack.com
elwood.rookiehack.com

The nameservers are registered and setup, so that is fine. Now direct admin won't handle the requests.

I added the domain, added the nameservers under the reseller section to two free ip's for rookiehack.com, and then updated them under administrator settings.

Nothing seems to work yet.

elwood.rookiehack.com. A 66.246.230.143
ftp A 66.246.230.136
jake.rookiehack.com. A 66.246.230.142
localhost A 127.0.0.1
mail A 66.246.230.136
pop A 66.246.230.136
rookiehack.com. A 66.246.230.136
www A 66.246.230.136
rookiehack.com. NS elwood.rookiehack.com.
rookiehack.com. NS jake.rookiehack.com.
mail MX 10

There is my setup on my server.
 
You either A) have a firewall running or B) named is not running. Try restarting named, do it from the "Service Monitor" of the DA Admin Panel. Or do it from shell by: /etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart

I bet you have a firewall that is blocking for 53 on TCP and UDP.
 
Well, I had previously restarted the whole server to check. Just shutdown iptables (running fedora core 3), and restarted named, still doesn't look like it's working. Maybe it takes a bit?

Or there is another firewall I don't know about?

I'm on 15minuteservers dedicated box if that makes a difference.
 
Im not sure about that company, shouldn't make a difference. They usually don't install software. They just install a clean os and let you change it all around. To test if named is working: try this FROM the server (shell):

dig @localhost rookiehack.com

That should return an ip address in the Authorative section. If it doesn't, then named is broke.

I have tried to "dig @66.246.230.142 rookiehack.com" and "dig @66.246.230.143 rookiehack.com" both return me an error .... CORRECTION! I just got a return.. looks like your working on it right now.. if so, you got it working.
 
How long ago did you set them up? I have some I setup Tuesday night. Still nothing, same type of dns report.
 
Well, set them up almost a week ago. Didn't complete all the steps until 3-4 days ago.

I'm still getting the problems, they don't always see my nameservers, and if they do...they are wrong.

And when I did the authoritative check, it came back with a "0" there.

Well it's an unmanaged server..

I didn't think there would be any issue since it's DA getting setup, and I followed all the directions.

The only issue I could see is because I restored my backups from a different server.
 
Depending on how you did the backups and how you restored them you might have changed something.

DNS Report will probably help you figure out what's wrong.

If you can't figure it out yourself, perhaps you should have someone who understands both DA and DNS check your server.

DNSreport doesn't help me much.

Is there a way you can reset your DA to original with no info?
 
Well, i had my DA install redone, loaded up the stuff, and it all works fine.

It appears to break when I restore files, that hoses the dns somehow.

So I created rookiehack.com and that works perfectly. However I restored kingbenny.net in as a user and now it won't work...

Is there any issue in DA for this...and is there a fix?
 
incompatible named databases from the backups than with your current server?
If you could find the cause of why named stops working when you try to restore a domain/account that would narrow down things a whole lot. Try unpackaging the backup by hand and veiw DirectAdmins data files and what it's trying to add to named compared to working domains.

You know, the fun troubleshooting stuff.
