Thanks for the info Scott. I won't worry about it. As for Len's comment: I do understand that the warning can be easily mis-interpreted, causing one to "chase" a problem that really doesn't exist.
Scott, is it possible to put a final comment on the DNSReport warning such as: "This indicates a possible minor problem, which most often is not worth pursuing."

It doesn't complain; it gives a warning (which "indicate a possible minor problem, which often is not worth pursuing"). WARNING. The parent servers (TLD1.ULTRADNS.NET.) are not providing glue for all your nameservers. This means that they are supplying the NS records (host.example.com), but not supplying the A records (192.0.2.53), which can cause slightly slower connections, and may cause some incompatibilities with some programs (if the programs are not fully RFC-compliant). This behavior is allowed by the RFCs. This will usually occur if your DNS servers are not in the same TLD as your domain (for example, a DNS server of "ns1.example.co.uk" for the domain "example.com"). In this case, you can speed up the connections slightly by having NS records that are in the same TLD as your domain. >This is the first .org that we have registered. All of our other domains >(.com and .net) >pass this test. Most .org domains have this issue. >Is this an issue with .org TLD servers? No. >What do I need to do? Who do I need to speak with? If you want to pursue this, you need to speak to whoever can give you .org NS records. Your NS records are ns1.lanechange.net, ns2.lanechange.net, and ns3.lanechange.net. So presumably you would contact the lanechange.net people and ask them if they have ns1.lanechange.org, ns2.lanechange.org, and ns3.lanechange.org that you can use. If not, you can find other NS records on .org to use. Or you can just ignore the issue, which most likely will not be noticeable. In short, this is important if the speed of the first connection to your website is vital; otherwise, it isn't very important. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
