At risk of telling you stuff you already know, "propagation error" normally means you've recently made changes to your DNS and they've not yet propagated to other DNS servers around the world. Did you just (i.e. in the last few minutes to even hours) make the changes that you're referring to and not seeing them when using some other service/system's DNS? Some DNS servers don't even follow all the TTLs etc and might cache results beyond what you expect (a compromise they're making between being current and maintaining performance). Or even the local system could be caching old DNS results.
We use CloudFlare for DNS and it's array of other great performance and security functionality (including the ability to make transparent SSL for domains/subdomains that don't actually have their own certs). I had our DNS on EasyDNS for years, and it worked great -- I'd use them again if needed. But after trying CloudFlare free subscription for some security functionality I ultimately moved DNS there as well. -- Mark From: David McSpadden <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: 12/04/2015 11:38 AM Subject: [NTSysADM] dns propagation errors Sent by: [email protected] My DNS servicer is stating my PTR issues is a DNS propagation error?
