Hello
Thanks for the pointers, they should be fixed and I upgreated to a 8.2.3
version from mandrake. Thier is only one problem left, and that is
ns2.datakota.net is regitered with a old address still :( . That is being
fixed.
But still I have a problem that I can not query the dns server directly???
This is what I get:
[jtwatson at Smokey jtwatson]$ host -a www.datakota.com 216.16.67.246
Trying "www.datakota.com"
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[jtwatson at Smokey jtwatson]$
Am I using the host util wrong???? Does anyone have any idea what is wrong
here?
I can make a dns change, and because I have the cache time settings set
real low, I see the changes in a few minutes! Because the changes come
through, I know that the dns server is working when queried by another dns
server, but I can not query my dns server directly????
Thanks for all the help
Joseph
