Hi All, when I do dig somedomain.org I get: ; <<>> DiG 9.8.4-rpz2+rl005.12-P1 <<>> somedomain.org ;; global options: +cmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached What is the "no servers" that could not be reached?? If I do dig greenwareit.com.au it works fine. Both somedomain.org and greenwareit (and 3 other domains) are on the same dns server. somedomain.org is registered with namecheap.com. Any one has domain registered with them? (not my choice) Cheers Daniel.

This can be returned if no DNS servers are registered against the domain name, or there are no glue records for the DNS servers. What happens if you do a whois somedomain.org Do any DNS servers get returned? Sean

Unlikely to be the problem. I have access to the registration record with namecheap and have set the dns servers entries there to point to the actual servers.

Yes correct dns servers are returned, except that they are listed in UPPERCASE, where as if I do greenwareit, they are in lowercase! Is that the problem???? Daniel

Unlikely. My .id.au domains return DNS servers in lowercase form, but my (functional) .org domain returns the NS servers in uppercase. With the DNS servers that get returned by the whois lookup, can you do an SOA check? dig @ns1 somedomain.org SOA Sean

If I do

it works fine.
Works fine here too, but DOES have an SOA record. ; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.23.rc1.el6_5.1 <<>> greenwareit.com.au soa ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 53138 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 3, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;greenwareit.com.au.

Regards, Morrie.
DNS can take some time to propagate, try using different servers to get the answer: dig @one-of-your-two-dns-servers domainname dig @your-other-dns-servers domainname dig @8.8.8.8 domainname Do dns lookup tests at: http://mxtoolbox.com/DNSLookup.aspx I don't think case is important with domain names, but there are sometimes some weird situations where case may matter when you don't think it should, even in an M$ world.... Some mail servers even do case sensitive email addresses, but this is a very bad idea (tm). Cheers A.

The "somedomain.org" domain appears to be registered to someone in Arizona via eNom, is there a typo there? cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC
Hi Chris and others who made same comment, "somedomain" was meant to be an example, and a bad one - I guess I should have used "example.org" which would have been more obvious!! The actual domain name is different. Sorry for confusing some. Its been sorted out. Cheers Daniel. On Sat, 02 Aug 2014 09:47:46 +1000 Chris Samuel <chris@csamuel.org> wrote:

As you probably know, example.org, among others, is reserved exactly for this purpose. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2606
