Hi Folks!
We just registered a domain in the .com.mx TLD. Wahoo. Here's the
problem:
Our current domestic web host provides our DNS for our
strutmasters.com.mx domain name, and is properly configured:
% dig www.strutmasters.com.mx @ns5.esosoft.net
--snip--
;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.strutmasters.com.mx. 43200 IN CNAME strutmasters.com.mx.
strutmasters.com.mx. 43200 IN A 161.58.166.59
--snip--
However, if I do a top-down dig of www.strutmasters.com.mx, I get:
% dig www.strutmasters.com.mx
--snip--
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 10002
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;www.strutmasters.com.mx. IN A
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
com.mx. 465 IN SOA a.ns.mx.
hostmaster.nic.mx. 446764 3600 300 604800 1800
--snip--
(but if I dig for just strutmasters.com.mx, I get the correct authority
section:
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
strutmasters.com.mx. 41836 IN NS ns5.esosoft.net.
strutmasters.com.mx. 41836 IN NS ns6.esosoft.net.
strutmasters.com.mx. 41836 IN NS ns7.esosoft.net.
)
That smells to me (a complete novice in the DNS world) like the .com.mx
TLD authority (a.ns.mx) is misconfigured and doesn't realize that
*.strutmasters.com.mx should fall to the same authority as
strutmasters.com.mx. But like I said, I'm a complete DNS novice, so I'm
not sure. Clearly our EsoSoft DNS is correctly set up. Should I be
complaining to nic.mx?
I really shouldn't have to bother with anyone but EsoSoft if I wanted to
add CNAMEs under the strutmasters.com.mx domain, right?
Thanks,
~Brian
