Name Server Problems
Posted: Wed Feb 26, 2003 12:23 pm
Talkbloodbowl seems to be unreachable quite frequently, simply because the domain name can not be resolved. I am able to reach the domain from some computers and not at all from other (at the same time)
Probably other users have noticed this, but they may not have gotten to the bottom of this. I asked our sys-admin guys to have a look at it, and great as they are, they found the problem.
Apparantly there seems to be a problem with the nameserver hostmequick.com. When asked for a dns-lookup of www.talkbloodbowl.com it does not give an AUTHORATIVE answer. (may be a bad translation).
Where linux-dns-servers accept this and give an A-record, solaris-dns-servers don't (as they shouldn't) and end up with a failed lookup. (I don't know about MS-dns-servers, but knowing the security and standard-compliance policies of MS, they'll probably accept everything)
Maybe the guys at hostmequick.com should be contacted to resolve this??
Sorry about the techno-babbel, I don't understand all of it either
