DNS Issues

with 2 comments

So the glue for most of the domains that I host (freebsd.cx and dischord.org mainly) has come unstuck (lolz) thanks to the IP addresses for both the primary and secondary authoritive nameservers for these domains being wrong. The IP for the primary changed on Sunday and while the secondary should have been be fine, the address that netdns.cx hold for ns2 is incorrect (don’t ask). Hence, no DNS.

I’ve got something working now - for dischord.org at least, freebsd.cx will be shagged for a while longer - so it should settle down a bit. I need to update the addresses for ns.freebsd.cx and ns2.freebsd.cx only netdns.cx have changed their website again, and my login details don’t work. It tries to mail a new password to my nick(at)freebsd.cx account but as there’s no DNS for that domain it’s something of a chicken and egg situation. Of course, netdns’s helpdesk service is shit and might take up to a week to respond :(

* UPDATE

I ended up calling netdns.cx (out in Christmas Island) at 3am on Thursday morning and asking if they could sort this out. They did, and so freebsd.cx now has authoritive nameservers again.
