In that case, The 2 nameservers for this domain are in the same subnet. One powercut (or cable-cut) and the domain does not resolve (abroad) any more. For hosting DNS, we use one DNS server in UG, and one elsewhere on the globe. We use rollernet.us for this. Its very cheap, easy & also allows for secondary mail service, so it holds clients emails when the fibre is off. Secondly, there are tools that do this stuff. Control panels, editors, other stuff than vi. They help preventing these small mistakes. If infocom would like to scale its hosting activities, i would definitely recommend using any of them. Or let hosting companies host, and ISP's deliver connectivity. > > > > Regards, > > -- > Markus > Regards, > > -- > Markus > > On Oct 5, 2010, at 8:51 AM, Reinier Battenberg wrote: > > @McTim: Ryta is still trying to install DNS on his local server, while > > the NS records still are pointing to celtel, so @Markus, Ryta is not an > > ISP, he works at nca.co.ug (we have to wait a bit to see what that is.) > > > > So Ryta, yes please, post your named.conf file. > > > > Unless I am wrong, and celtel adds clients domains to its DNS server by > > manually editing .conf files, which is an interesting concept. > > > >> McTim, there is no need for the named.conf file, as the problem is not > >> with the config of the nameserver but most likely with the zone file > >> for the domain itself.
