Yup, they're pretty badly screwed up: DNS Expert Detailed Report for freebsdmall.com. 7/3/02, 11:14 AM, using the analysis setting "Thorough" ====================================================================== Information ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Serial number: 2002040101 Primary name server: ns1.freebsdmall.com. Primary mail server: mail.freebsdmall.com. Number of records: N/A Errors ---------------------------------------------------------------------- o The server "ns2.freebsdmall.com." did not reply The server "ns2.freebsdmall.com." did not reply when it was queried for the name "freebsdmall.com.". This indicates that the server is not running, or it is currently unreachable. o The server "ns3.freebsdmall.com." did not reply The server "ns3.freebsdmall.com." did not reply when it was queried for the name "freebsdmall.com.". This indicates that the server is not running, or it is currently unreachable. o The name server "ns1.freebsdmall.com." is only listed in delegation data The server "ns1.freebsdmall.com." is listed as being authoritative for the zone according to the delegation data, but there is no NS record for that server in the zone data. Delegation data and zone data should always match. o An MX record for "freebsdmall.com." refers to "mail.freebsdmall.com." which is a CNAME record An MX record in the zone "freebsdmall.com." refers to the mail server "mail.freebsdmall.com." The record "mail.freebsdmall.com." is a CNAME record, not an A record. o Only one of your name servers has authoritative data for the zone. The server "ns1.freebsdmall.com." is the only server that has authoritative data for the zone. If this server becomes unavailable, your domain will become inaccessible. Warnings ---------------------------------------------------------------------- o The zone contains more than one authoritative name server with the same IP address The name servers "www.freebsdmall.com." and "ns1.freebsdmall.com.", which are authoritative for "freebsdmall.com.", have the same IP address (66.220.2.194). o The name server "ns1.freebsdmall.com." does not permit zone transfers The name server "ns1.freebsdmall.com." has been configured to reject unauthorized zone transfers and the application will not be able to use data from this server while analyzing the zone. o Zone transfer from authoritative servers not possible It was not possible to perform a zone transfer from any of the authoritative name servers for the zone. This will limit the range of tests performed for the zone. o The Expire field in the SOA record contains an unusually high value The value 8640000 of the Expire field in the SOA record is unusually high. The value for this field should be within the range 86400 - 3600000. o There is only one MX record in the zone The zone contains only one MX record. This will cause mail delivery problems if the primary mail server becomes unavailable. For safety purposes, there should be two or more mail servers for every zone, the extra mail servers being used as backup (secondary) servers for the primary server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- end of report -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
