My interface for nameservers seems to be at telushosting.com rather than
TUCOWS.  That is what i have a username and password for also a dialog
to enter nameservers.   However their interface is sucky and does not
allow you to enter ip's only names i have waited for 10 days and every
time i enter the name ns1.shoemasters.com it adds the old 68.144.231.38
address.  So i have removed it and am running shoemasters.com on only
one nameserver ns1.computerking.ca seems that shoemasters.com has the
right address but ns1.shoemasters.com does not.  I have emailed telus
hosting and they assure me that the ip will update and i should just
wait longer (more than 10 days???).

Knowing these are dumb questions please do not be to upset with me for
asking.  How come the domains worked before internally without adding
them to the internal view?  If shoemasters.com is hosted from a
different ip does it not make it external or is it still considered
internal should my local name server not query external names servers
like when i  lookup google.ca, yahoo.com, or any other address on the
web that i look up?
