Hi Peter, I think your problem is that glue records for your domain do not exist in the zone file for the DNS servers for id.au $ dig +short id.au NS y.au. x.au. w.au. z.au. $ dig +norec @w.au gonglenuts.id.au NS ; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3-Ubuntu <<>> +norec @w.au gonglenuts.id.au NS ; (2 servers found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 4600 ;; flags: qr aa; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;gonglenuts.id.au.

Hi Daniel,
did you figure out your problem?
I made, just for fun, an experiment to get an own nameserver up and running (I did not run a _public_ one for ages).
The nameserver is up and running, I see it in whois but it does not get propagated.
Here in detail:
http://www.whoismydomain.com.au/whois/gonglenuts.id.au
Domain Name: gonglenuts.id.au Last Modified: 01-Jul-2014 02:03:45 UTC Registrar ID: WAR Registrar Name: Web Address Registration Status: inactive
Registrant: Peter Ross Eligibility Type: Other ..
Name Server: ns.gonglenuts.id.au Name Server IP: 115.186.196.107
On the nameserver itself runs a bind 9.10.
The zone file:
$TTL 3h @ IN SOA ns.gonglenuts.id.au. root.ns ( 2014073001 1d 12h 1w 3h ) ; Serial, Refresh, Retry, Expire, Neg. cache TTL
@ IN NS ns.gongelnuts.id.au.
ns IN A 115.186.196.107
You can wuery the server, it returns SOA, NS and A records.. but if you query "the Internet" it returns:
$ nslookup
set type=SOA gonglenuts.id.au Server: 192.168.50.223 Address: 192.168.50.223#53
** server can't find gonglenuts.id.au: NXDOMAIN
I do not know what I did wrong.
While writing this, I noticed this whois line
"Status: inactive"
But I do not know why it is. The domain is registered, setup and paid.
It was a bit low on my priority list over the last weeks (it is a "playground project") but I still would like to sort it out one day..
Regards Peter
