Subdomains Multi Server Setup

[chrisrandell]

Hi there, i have a really interesting mind boggeling issue with my DNS,

Yesterday we brought a second server online.. so i moved my ns2 to the second server... corrected the entries in my name registrar, updated my A records on both servers... and turned the multi server option ON .

Then i sat back and waited... last night i had a client tell me his site was up and down... so i checked and sure enough up and down up and down... at first thought i concluded it was a propergation error with the new name servers. and left it for the night, this morning i decided to check, seems that all my clients who are sub domained arent working correctly.....

i did some tests from dnsstuff.com
