resolving issue
I'm trying to help a friend out on his web hoster. A domain is pointed from a registar to a hosting agents DNS servers, the DNS servers are correct, I checked. The host claims to have the proper entries in their DNS server. If I set the nslookup server to the hosts main DNS server then query the domain name in question, I should get returned the IP from the hosters DNS, no matter if the registar DNS has fully propagated or not. In other words, if the hoster has DNS records correct I should never receive the following from nslookup www.surprisewinner.com Server: ns1.skylap.com Address:207.44.216.141#53 ** server can't find www.surprisewinner.com: SERVFAIL Correct?

Looks like neither the registrar nor skylap have done anything with this domain.

Either its not a DNS server, or its broken. www.surprisewinner.com also doesn't appear to be a valid domain, however. -- The server is returning the info. : SERVFAIL means it cant find the domian : NXDOMAIN means there is no domain Upon query the ns1.skylap.com server returns correctly for other domains I know are valid. Just not for a domain they host and claim is setup and working.

Just had to make sure I was remembering it right, been about three years since I did ISP stuff. The host has it hosed somewhere, I can access via ftp with ftp.skylap.com and the user/pass so I am thinking that the user has been set up properly but that the hosts DNS entry for surprisewinner.com is typo'd or nonexistant. You'd think they would check that kinda stuff a bit closer, especially after they typoed the original setup as surprizewinner.com. I keep telling him those cheap hosts are like two buck chuck. You get what you pay for.
