[Gllug] DNS verification (slightly OT)

[Henrik Morsing]

Not strictly a Linux question, sorry, but I've been arguing with my domain registrar (Enom) for over a week now and just looking for someone to tell me if I've got this completely wrong of if they are clueless or whatever is going on here.

My setup for years up until last month was my colo server Emil, being the primary DNS (IP 195.10.223.76) and Widge running two secondary server for some of my zones. Couple of weeks ago my server got moved and thus been given new addresses, the main one being 93.93.131.95. At the same time I setup a virtual server gustav (IP 72.14.177.241) to take over from Widge to be the new secondary server.

So, up until recently the Verisign servers should have responded something like:

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;morsing.cc.                    IN      NS

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
morsing.cc.             172800  IN      NS      EMIL.morsing.cc.
morsing.cc.             172800  IN      NS      NS1.WIDGE.NET.
morsing.cc.             172800  IN      NS      NS2.WIDGE.NET.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
EMIL.morsing.cc.          172800  IN      A       195.10.223.76

which they did.
I then tried to change the info in my control panel but always get an error which is why I contacted the support center. They got back to me saying they've changed the info for me but I have continued to get the above, old info from the Verisign servers. The info should look like:

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;morsing.cc.                    IN      NS

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
morsing.cc.             172800  IN      NS      EMIL.morsing.cc.
morsing.cc.             172800  IN      NS      GUSTAV.morsing.cc.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
EMIL.morsing.cc.          172800  IN      A       195.10.223.76
GUSTAV.morsing.cc.	172800 IN	A	72.14.177.241

The latest mail I got after asking if there was a number I could call the guy on to discuss was:

"If you run a nameserver check at Verisign for gustsav.morsing.cc it will display the IP address 72.14.177.241. You may also attempt to ping the nameserver. Unfortunately, it is displaying the corrrect information and the namesever is registered. There is nothing more we can do as it is already registered.
"

I tried yesterday to change the name emil in the control panel to ns.morsing.cc which it accepted, no idea why, but this has just made the situation worse because it's picked up a completely erroneous IP address for emil now as the output now is:

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;morsing.cc.                    IN      NS

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
morsing.cc.             172800  IN      NS      NS1.WIDGE.NET.
morsing.cc.             172800  IN      NS      NS2.WIDGE.NET.
morsing.cc.             172800  IN      NS      NS.morsing.cc.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
NS.morsing.cc.          172800  IN      A       62.79.45.155 

I have absolutely no idea where 62.79.45.155 has come from.

I'm at a loss here. I can't get through to the guy but can someone verify that I am right and not going crazy? All I want is for Emil (93.93.131.95) and Gustav (72.14.177.241) to be the only two DNSs for morsing.cc. but is that the case currently? Just hoping someone could verify.

Thanks
Henrik Morsing
