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
