Hi All,

      I have run a couple of "online" DNS checking sites against my
linux DNS server & have gotten back some "warnings" & "errors: & was
wanting to pass them by here for a potential explanation &/or
solution..

I am running as a primary DNS & have secondary done by a company
called easyDNS

replies below :-

o The name server "ns2.easydns.com." is not listed in delegation data
    The server "ns2.easydns.com." is listed as being authoritative
    for the zone according to the zone data, but there is no NS
    record for that server in the delegation data.  Delegation data
    and zone data should always match.

o All nameservers report identical NS records WARNING: 
Your nameservers report somewhat different answers for your NS records
(varying TTL, for example).

o Lame nameservers ERROR: 
You have one or more lame nameservers. These are nameservers that do
NOT answer authoritatively for your domain. This is bad; for example,
these nameservers may never get updated. The following nameservers are
lame:
220.233.6.187 

o Missing (stealth) nameservers FAIL: 
You have one or more missing (stealth) nameservers. The following
nameserver(s) are listed (at your nameservers) as nameservers for your
domain, but are not listed at the the parent nameservers (therefore,
they may or may not get used, depending on whether your DNS servers
return them in the authority section for other requests, per RFC2181
5.4.1). You need to make sure that these stealth nameservers are
working; if they are not responding, you may have serious problems!
The DNS Report will not query these servers, so you need to be very
careful that they are working properly.
remote3.easyDNS.com.ns2.easyDNS.com.remote1.easyDNS.com.remote2.easyDNS.com.
This is listed as an ERROR because there are some cases where nasty
problems can occur (if the TTLs vary from the NS records at the root
servers and the NS records point to your own domain, for example).

o No CNAMEs for domain ERROR: 
eziekiel.com has a CNAME entry (); it is not valid to have a CNAME
entry and NS entries for 220.233.6.187. See RFC1912 2.4 and RFC2181
10.3 for more information .

Thanks for any assistance

Andrew
