My ISP is having problems resolving DNS since we all went on to DSLAM - Its lightning fast but this has created problems for the ISP not being quick enough to resolve an enquiry - I am getting a lot of time out from my ISP. My own site which is hosted by my ISP represents this same issue.
For those people who are members of DNSSTUFF.COM you will understand, for others when you join DNSSTUFF.COM with your domain noted you receive automatic warnings if anyone has a problem with your site and in this case my site is hosted by my ISP QUOTE NS records at your nameservers has changed from INFO to FAIL. A timeout occurred getting the NS records from your nameservers! None of your nameservers responded fast enough. They are probably down or unreachable. I can't continue since your nameservers aren't responding. If you have a Watchguard Firebox, it's due to a bug in their DNS Proxy, which must be disabled (31 Jul 2006 UPDATE: several years after being informed of this, there is a rumor that there is a fix that allows the Watchguard DNS proxy to work). UNQUOTE I have set-up a trial DNS server of my own, however I am a bit new to NS servers, and have configured my DNS server correctly with my ISP being the master and all NS and C and A, MX records are correctly defined in the server. It works very well, however I am lead to believe I don't really need to define a master zone. Somewhere I have a thought that should be able to let it do its own thing by asking the relevant master of its own choice. What I have created work well with no issues found watching the system log BUT I have not really achieved anything as I am asking my own ISP to resolve DNS enquiries which it already does? Without freaking me out with editing config files all over the place, can someone walk me through creating a DNS server resolve DNS enquires I MAKE with whoever it wants to? I do not host my own site locally, I leave all the hard stuff to my ISP. I just upload the site via the ISP interface and bingo its there - and costs me nothing.
