Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: DNS Issue (HELP)

2003-12-20 Thread R. Scott Perry

Check this out
1.) Do a direct query against ns1.loudcloud.com for wltx.com - Returns 
66.54.32.202.

2.) Do a direct query against ns1.infi.net for wltx.com - Returns 
66.54.32.202.

3.) Do a direct query against ns1.mindspring.net or ns2. or ns3 and the 
query will in general 9 out of 10 times timeout.  We can also duplicate 
this behavior on Charter and Road Runner.

I can't even come up with a possible explanation...  The zone files are 
the same
That is odd.  At first I thought that it was just a generic problem with 
their DNS servers, but they handle declude.com fine.

Note that they are reporting a SERVER FAILURE response, which technically 
should only happen if their DNS servers fail for some reason.  However, 
there are cases where BIND will return the SERVER FAILURE if it gets that 
message from the remote DNS server -- which could in theory have caused the 
problem.  They may have 10 DNS servers at each IP, 9 of which have a cached 
SERVER FAILURE response, and 1 does not.  Unfortunately, this bit of 
information doesn't offer a solution.

 On the DNSSTUFF, I used the cached ISP report looking at the NS 
record.  What does it mean when an ISP has the name server set to  
ns92.worldnic.com?  Does this mean at one time when the domain was looked 
up it was not resolved from the root servers?

 ATT Worldnet #1NS=ns1.infi.net. [TTL=1d 9h 38m 50s] 
NS=ns2.infi.net. [TTL=1d 9h 38m 50s]
 ATT Worldnet #2NS=ns1.infi.net. [TTL=1d 4h 18m 50s] 
NS=ns2.infi.net. [TTL=1d 4h 18m 50s]
 ATT Worldnet #1NS=ns1.infi.net. [TTL=1d 2h 53m 53s] 
NS=ns2.infi.net. [TTL=1d 2h 53m 53s]
 ATT Worldnet #2NS=ns91.worldnic.com. [TTL=10h 45m 11s] 
NS=ns92.worldnic.com. [TTL=10h 45m 11s]

It means that one of ATT's DNS servers thinks that ns91.worldnic.com and 
ns92.worldnic.com are your DNS servers.  If their servers are working 
properly, it means that about 38 hours earlier (the 48 hour TTL for .com NS 
records minus the 10+ hours left on their TTL) they connected to the .com 
parent servers and were told that ns91.worldnic.com and ns92.worldnic.com 
are the NS records for wltx.com.

If you read Matt's response, I think he figured it out -- his explanation 
(corrupt information at the .com parent servers) sounds like it would fit 
what happened.

2003-12-20 Thread Darrell LaRock
Matt,

I think you are right.  My guess is that for some reason they dropped the domain out 
of the root servers for a period of time and the major isps grabed the worldnic 
servers as being authoratative.

Not much we can do, other than wait...

Darrell,

It looks like your name server records were maybe munged for a period of 
time from a root update that is now fixed.  Those munged records though 
are being cached and they should get a good copy once they expire.  This 
might explain why all of us seem to be able to resolve your domain, 
being that we aren't likely to have it cached being smaller providers, 
however the larger providers seem to have bad records for it because 
they hit your domain while the data was bad.  Just guessing of course.

If you have some local ISP's which are likely to have chached an earlier 
copy of the records, try querying their servers to see what it returns.  
I suspect that they will have a bad copy also, at least for a short 
period of time.  I don't believe there is anything you can do about this 
if I am correct.

However, something is seriously wrong as the major ISP's can't resolve it 
(Earthlink, Charter, Some AOL Users, Road Runner).  This occured right 
after the whois info was updated to the new authoratative servers.
  

That's probably the problem.

Once the first .com parent server gets the new NS records, it takes up to 
about 6 hours for all the other .com parent servers to get updated, and 
another 48 hours before TTL values expire on DNS servers throughout the 
world.  Earthlink, Charter, and some other larger ISPs almost certainly 
have the old values cached, which will take up to 48 hours to expire after 
the change.  During that time, they will be using the old NS records.

This is off topic, but I need some help in a bad way to figure out a DNS
problem I am having that is preventing one of our sites from receiving mail

We recently (this week) switched the name servers from our current provider

However, something is seriously wrong as the major ISP's can't resolve it
(Earthlink, Charter, Some AOL Users, Road Runner).  This occured right after

Now the crazy thing is I can resolve the site using the auth. servers, but
not off one of Earthlink's or charters.  

The site is wltx.com.

Can you resolve it?

How can I verify that the site did not fall out of the root servers? Anyone
else have any input?

I'd say that the domain is fine at its new home; the question is what was
the TTL on the domain before it was moved?

I would go very little out on a limb and say that the folks with trouble to
wltx.com were cacheing the DNS for longer than the TTL on the domain, or it
was really high before the change, and they're respecting that.

current provider to another provider.   The zone files are duplicate between
providers.
 
 Darrell However, something is seriously wrong as the major ISP's can't
resolve it (Earthlink, Charter, Some AOL Users, Road Runner).  This occured
right after the whois info was updated to the new
 Darrell authoratative servers.
 
 Darrell Now the crazy thing is I can resolve the site using the auth.
servers, but not off one of Earthlink's or charters.
 
 Darrell The site is wltx.com.
 
 Darrell Can you resolve it?
 
 Darrell How can I verify that the site did not fall out of the root
servers? Anyone else have any input?

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: DNS Issue (HELP)

2003-12-19 Thread Darrell LaRock
Scott,

We duplicated the zone files between both providers.  So all records are identical.  
If the zone files are the same than all of the timeouts should not matter.

Check this out
1.) Do a direct query against ns1.loudcloud.com for wltx.com - Returns 66.54.32.202.

2.) Do a direct query against ns1.infi.net for wltx.com - Returns 66.54.32.202.

3.) Do a direct query against ns1.mindspring.net or ns2. or ns3 and the query will in 
general 9 out of 10 times timeout.  We can also duplicate this behavior on Charter and 
Road Runner.

I can't even come up with a possible explanation...  The zone files are the same

Thanks
Darrell

after the whois info was updated to the new authoratative servers.

That's probably the problem.

Once the first .com parent server gets the new NS records, it takes up to 
about 6 hours for all the other .com parent servers to get updated, and 
another 48 hours before TTL values expire on DNS servers throughout the 
world.  Earthlink, Charter, and some other larger ISPs almost certainly 
have the old values cached, which will take up to 48 hours to expire after 
the change.  During that time, they will be using the old NS records.

Scott,

On the DNSSTUFF, I used the cached ISP report looking at the NS record.  What does it 
mean when an ISP has the name server set to ns92.worldnic.com?  Does this mean at one 
time when the domain was looked up it was not resolved from the root servers?

ATT Worldnet #1NS=ns1.infi.net. [TTL=1d 9h 38m 50s] NS=ns2.infi.net. [TTL=1d 
9h 38m 50s] 
ATT Worldnet #2NS=ns1.infi.net. [TTL=1d 4h 18m 50s] NS=ns2.infi.net. [TTL=1d 
4h 18m 50s] 
ATT Worldnet #1NS=ns1.infi.net. [TTL=1d 2h 53m 53s] NS=ns2.infi.net. [TTL=1d 
2h 53m 53s] 
ATT Worldnet #2NS=ns91.worldnic.com. [TTL=10h 45m 11s] NS=ns92.worldnic.com. 
[TTL=10h 45m 11s] 

Taking wild stabs in the dark :)

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: DNS Issue (HELP)

2003-12-19 Thread Matthew Bramble
Darrell,

It looks like your name server records were maybe munged for a period of 
time from a root update that is now fixed.  Those munged records though 
are being cached and they should get a good copy once they expire.  This 
might explain why all of us seem to be able to resolve your domain, 
being that we aren't likely to have it cached being smaller providers, 
however the larger providers seem to have bad records for it because 
they hit your domain while the data was bad.  Just guessing of course.

If you have some local ISP's which are likely to have chached an earlier 
copy of the records, try querying their servers to see what it returns.  
I suspect that they will have a bad copy also, at least for a short 
period of time.  I don't believe there is anything you can do about this 
if I am correct.

Matt
