RE: [cobalt-users] Raq2: DNS question

["Scott Byers" <scott.byers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Looks like everything is ok.

You might want to go into the GUI and change the TTL (time to live) to a
lower setting so when your ISP updates their DNS it will pick up the new
address.

Everything should be fine by tomorrow.

Subject: [cobalt-users] Raq2: DNS question


Never had this happen before:

1. Setup new domain through GUI
2. Entered primary DNS record through GUI
3. Entered WRONG IP address.
4. Corrected it 5 minutes later.

My DLS provider's DNS cached the first incorrect IP:

Name Server LookUp for www.saigonshopper.com
Search Type: ALL - All records
Name Server: 207.239.163.30

Header:
   ID=18584, QR=Response, Opcode=QUERY, RCODE=NO ERROR

   Recursion Desired=Yes, Recursion Available=Yes
   QDCOUNT=1, ANCOUNT=1, NSCOUNT=1, ARCOUNT=1
Question:
   Name=www.saigonshopper.com, QTYPE=ALL, QCLASS=1

   Name=www.saigonshopper.com

I switched my WIN98 dns to my Raq2's DNS only where of course the record is
correct:

Question:
   Name=www.saigonshopper.com, QTYPE=ALL, QCLASS=1
Answer Section:
   Name=www.saigonshopper.com
   Type=A, Class=1, TTL=86400, RDLENGTH=4
   IP Address=216.234.233.37
Authority Records Section:
   Name=saigonshopper.com
   Type=NS, Class=1, TTL=86400, RDLENGTH=13
   Name Server=ns1.gps.net
Additional Records Section:
   Name=ns1.gps.net
   Type=A, Class=1, TTL=86400, RDLENGTH=4
   IP Address=216.234.235.10

The problem is it won't resolve in a browser:

There was a communication problem.
Message ID TCP_ERROR
Problem Description  The system was unable to communicate with the server.
Possible Problem Cause
 The Web server may be down.
The Web server may be too busy.
The Web server may be experiencing other problems, preventing it from
responding to clients.
The communication path may be experiencing problems.
Possible Solution
Try connecting to this server later.

All other sites are fine.  Any ideas?

Tony
