Scott, Where did you find ns89.worldnic.com and ns90.worldnic.com? Do you know something about ns28/29.durocom.com?

Step 1: Dump Network Solutions, unless you have a good reason to use them. If you ask people about registrars, the general consensus seems to be that whatever registrar someone has is anywhere from "fine" to "great" -- except for people using Network Solutions. >How can I check this?

The NS records for your domain (ns89.worldnic.com and ns90.worldnic.com) determine which DNS servers handle your domain, but do not distinguish which is the primary. The SOA record is supposed to list the primary (although some people may have incorrect information in there). But, your SOA record is missing -- see http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=todhunter.com&type=soa . When asked for the SOA record for todhunter.com, the worldnic.com DNS servers say "I have no clue" and send the DNS resolver back to the root servers. This is *VERY* bad. Why? Because those DNS servers are supposed to know *everything* about your domain (either have the information, or know where to go for it). But they say they do not know. You'll need to contact worldnic.com and have them fix the problem ASAP -- there could be other related problems as well. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
