If you have a domain, you must setup at least two different DNS servers. Both must be on physically different networks. Are you sure that the domain is set up properly?

How long since you redirected the nameserver records from your registrar account? It can take up to 72 hours for the changes to propagate, depending on the TLD. Some TLD propagate changes much faster now, but it can still takes many hours all DNS caches to expire old stuff. > NOTE: i have an ADSL account, which mean i'm using a router to connect to > the internet, and i'm redirection all ports from the external connections > to my machine ip, so that i'm able to open a server or to connect to my > machine from anywhere. Running a DNS server from an ADSL link is not recommended. Are you sure that your ISP is not blocking port 53 to your fixed address? And are you sure that your DNS server is actually listening on the public interface at all (if you have a multi-homed host) a.k.a does sockstat -46l show something like *:53? > thanks Cheers, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
