Hi,

out of interest why are you using nslookup, i though dig is the tool recommended these days...

that is on purpose for the moment (trying to get rid of the mismatched glue records) The com server do have the wrong ip of our NS.

hmm true didn't pay attention to the mx stuff as we're in the middle of migrating our office. that's a 30 second thing

that is what our dns registrar told me. Again, once the glue is (hopefully) updated at the parent servers that should be solved (or then I can at least update our slave nameservers to whatever the parent servers say) for the moment ns24 and ns34 are the nameservers that should be slaves for us (according to our providers info)

Do you need help?X

not my fault :)

that is our registrar already told them about this but they don't want to change it.

so that was you! :)

and i was wondering why we got queried for that domain :)

I told them to do so, but I guess we'll ditch them that is the second time with massive problems.

Do you need more help?X

incorrect address the correct address is 81.223.107.117 as you have seen below - and that is the root of all my problems :/

I'm pretty confident they messed something up the dnsstuff report was fine before the update and i triple checked the the AXFRs to match. SOA TTL records are my fault now true but right now i'm dead in the water and if those NS updates won't propagate soon we'll lose connectivity as we need to move a couple of servers to the new office since the old uplink is being closed down in 2 weeks.

thanks for checking
martin
