New subject: dns question.

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
