Hello, I believe I understand what a glue record is, and why I would
need one. I would like some clarification if possible.
While I am not the hugest fan of the dns report services, this report
was brought to my attention:
http://www.intodns.com/hostwizard.com
It says I am missing glue for my ns1 at 64.84.37.14
This domain is registered through goDaddy.
First Question:
What is the procedure for using `dig` to determine that I am in fact
missing an A record for my NS at the parent NS? I would like to
confirm their message.
Second, I logged into the control panel at GoDaddy, (I do not mind
switching registrars, though I find it hard to believe they do not
supply glue records for NS's), and I see something that looks like a
glue record area.

However, I did not add that data, it was already there. It also
references IPv6, and any edits or changes to it do not seem to stick.
I emailed support at GoDaddy, asking how to add a glue record through
their system. I am not sure they understood the issue at hand, but
this is what I recieved back:
Thank you for contacting Online Support. Unfortunately this is not
something you would be able to setup through us. We apologize for
any inconvenience.
Is it also correct, I only need a NS glue record for the actual NS
itself. There does not need to be a glue record for very zone that I
am providing DNS for?
Thanks for any suggestions.
