Re: [cobalt-users] OFFTOPIC but PLEASE help with dns problem

["support@xxxxxxxxxxx" <support@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello,

	another great traceroute page is http://www.traceroute.org ;
incidentally, the forward pointer for "www.bersinger-denia.ch" seems to
point to "bersinger-denia.ch", but the reverse pointers _are_ pointing
at "ns1.manitu.net". I would THINK that this problem would correct
itself as soon as the secondary NS hits the "refresh" limit... but I'm
not sure. If you remembered to update the reverse records on your
primary, then maybe you should get ahold of the administrator at the
secondary and have him/her make sure that the delegation is updated.  

	I _believe_ you can try to force an update to the secondary with this command:

"/etc/named-xfer -z domainyouwanttotransfer.com -f yourdatabasefile -s 0 server"
but perhaps one of our DNS experts can shed a little light here?

The question I'm having is, "Are the root servers different than those
in the US?"

Any Experts?
