Well, the global propagation period is over and when I try to ping www.kungfugamers.com I can see packets coming to my server box /trying/ to resolve the domain; however, it still doesn't seem to be working. Specifically, if I issue a dig command it works great (I think), but if I issue a ping command, it fails. See results below: > ping www.kungfugamers.com ping: unknown host www.kungfugamers.com > dig @68.15.153.133 a www.kungfugamers.com ; <<>> DiG 9.2.2rc1 <<>> @68.15.153.133 a www.kungfugamers.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 52385 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.kungfugamers.com.

It recognizes the names of the two dns authorities for the domain (ie, mordor.kungfugamers.com and shire.kungfugamers.com) both oth which point to my one server, which is the same server on which the web site resides. I really have no idea what to make of the tcpdump output, nor do I have the slightest clue why a dig command works but a ping doesn't since it seems that ping is finding the dns and asking for the domain info. Anyone have an idea of what I could try next? I feel like I've made some progress (I mean, NOTHING, not even dig worked before!) and I'm so close I can taste it. Any further help is much appreciated. :-) -Tom Caudron -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
