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:

Compare that to a domain which correctly has glue records set up

$ dig +norec @w.au unimelb.net.au NS

I think you need to contact your domain registrar to add ns.gonglenuts.id.au as a glue record in the id.au namespace, or you can set your primary DNS server as something with an address outside the gonglenuts.id.au domain.

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
