[cobalt-users] Crashed my ISP's DNS servers Ops (Please help)

["Nicolae" <nicolaep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is a very long story and I will make it as short as possible.
I just got a new RAQ 4r few days ago.  I hosted with others
and decided to get my own.  I got it from serverrack.net

When I setup my server on www.serverrack.net they setup the
domain www.enigmabiz.com as the default site.

1. enigmanetworks.com <--- main site that sits on liquidweb.com
hosting company

2. enigmabiz.com <-- is parked on mydns.com being forwarded to
enigmanetworks.com.
This became my main site due to short url.

3. I got a RAQ 4 at serverrack.net and got the following IPs from him:
65.170.79.187 and 188

4. I moved enigmabiz.com to a new registrar and edited the dnses to
ns1.serverrack.net and n2s.


Cobalt Settings
Control Panel --> Network
General Settings
Host Name: enigma-networks
Domain Name: enigmabiz.com
Primary DNS: 65.170.79.2
Second DNS: 65.170.79.3
Default Gateway: 65.170.79.1

Interface Settings:
IP Address: 65.170.79.187
SubNet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Under Site Management I have:
As a Virtual Site:
enigma-networks.enigmabiz.com 65.170.79.187


I read an article on Interliant.com and added the following to
above Site Management:

ns1.enigmabiz.com 65.170.79.2
ns2.enigmabiz.com 65.170.79.3
Now I am not sure if I did that correct but I did follow step by step
info based on: http://teamcobalt.interliant.com/pg_faq_setupdns.shtml

Now that ns1.enigmabiz.com I just did above.  I did not know what
would cause!  2 Hours later I got a call from the providers asking
me what happen and why?  I had no clue.  I never setup a raq before.

I find out that I accidently re-routed all traffic from their dnses
or Ns1 and ns2 from serverrack.net to my site www.enigmabiz.com which
was parked on ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com which is the same
as www.mydns.com and enigmabiz.com is forwarding the url to
enigmanetworks.com

For awhile I thought and asked the guy isn't that a security hole and
should not be able to do that (me) crash their systems without even
knowing.  They removed the settings I added:

ns1.enigmabiz.com
ns2.enigmabiz.com

This is another url that I asked for help and descriptions:
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33180

I removed enigmabiz.com entirely because of not being switched over.
I removed everything that had to do with *.enigmabiz.com and replaced
it with *.blly.com

This domain is on ns1.serverrack.net, ns2.serverrack.net and even
had ns3.mydomain.com and ns4.mydomain.com as backup.  I eventually
removed ns3 and ns4 and leave serverrack.net only.

I am reading forums, I am reading right now DNS and Bind book I got this
morning and also reading PDFs from Redhat linux 7.2 manual.

I hate asking for help on serverrack.net again because I got a good price
cut in price for setup and now ask them to setup the domains is too much.

I crashed their server and rerouted traffic to my site accidently they
probably
hate me by now.

I took movie capture of everything I have in admin section and it's located
at:
http://www.enigmanetworks.com/temp/  I have RAM files (10mb) I have *.avi
file
of 2mb (Camtasia codec) and a readme.txt.

I also wondered if anyone can help by going in there admin area and see if
settings are all correct and make sure it's not me and might be
serverrack.net
and I am pulling my hair out for nothing.  Right now if you go to blly.com
or
www.blly.com you get a 500 error.

I've been working on this matter for about 3 days now at least 3-5 hours a
day.

I also went and changed SOA records, TTL from 86400 seconds to 180 seconds
and
back to default to make dns changes take effect faster etc...

Any help is highly appreciated it and maybe I/we can do something in return.
