Then when someone does an nslookup, (some details left out here for simplicity) the root server says look at ns.iguru.net to find out where your domain is; if ns.iguru.net can't be reached for some reason, look at ns.iguru.com. Note that anyone who runs a name server is free to put anything they want in their own name server - and it is quite common that when a domain moves to a new hosting facility, no one gets around to removing the old dns records from the old name servers. But, that is not the problem here. The problem here is that only *one* of the *two* new name servers has the correct information. The ns.iguru.net has *wrong* data in it, and since it is listed first at the internic, that is the name server that people are hitting. (ns.iguru.com, the second name server, has the correct information.) The solution is to carefully check your zone file *on ns.iguru.net* to make sure it has the correct data, correct the serial number as another poster has mentioned (e.g. use 1999101201), and HUP named. Check your log file to see if it reports any errors in your zone file. Note that even after you've done this, you will still have to wait for things to time out of caches. But, you can check the particular name server to see what it's reporting with either dig: $ dig @ns.iguru.net turkishtop500.com any or with nslookup: $ nslookup > server ns.iguru.net Default Server: ns.iguru.net Address: 208.206.231.66 > set type=any > turkishtop500.com Carol jahanur wrote: > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > > I have nothing to do with ns1.dynamicaweb.net.
