ispconfig3 dns problem (i think??) im trying to set up my first vps using ispconfig3 and ubuntu. everything seems to have installed correctly. i have three domains with goddady and have added them and setup the dns. theses domains work fine. but i have another domain with uk-cheapest that will not work. i have changed nameservers with goddady and uk-cheapest to ns1.nullhost.info and ns2.nullhost.info and set up the dns in ispconfig (i think) i have tried dig durendal-boerboels.co.uk and it returns the correct ip address and the dns is setup the same as the other working domains but it still does not work!? im getting desperate since this is my only active site.
ive just tried a command from a post below if this information helps any! root@nullhost:~# dig @localhost durendal-boerboels.co.uk ; <<>> DiG 9.7.3 <<>> @localhost durendal-boerboels.co.uk ; (1 server found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 62181 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;durendal-boerboels.co.uk.

here are the dns records for durendal-boerboels.co.uk and nullhost.info Code: A durendal-boerboels.co.uk. 94.76.240.25 0 A mail 94.76.240.25 0 A ns1 94.76.240.25 0 A ns2 94.76.240.25 0 A www 94.76.240.25 0 MX durendal-boerboels.co.uk. mail.durendal-boerboels.co.uk. 10 NS durendal-boerboels.co.uk. ns1.nullhost.info. 0 NS durendal-boerboels.co.uk. ns2.nullhost.info. 0 A mail 94.76.240.25 0 A ns1 94.76.240.25 0 A ns2 94.76.240.25 0 A nullhost.info. 94.76.240.25 0 A www 94.76.240.25 0 MX nullhost.info. mail.nullhost.info. 10 NS nullhost.info. ns1.nullhost.info. 0 NS nullhost.info. ns2.nullhost.info. 0 im lost where to look next
just tried to ping both address from my home pc and nullhost.info works but durendal-boerboels.co.uk says "Ping request could not find host durendal-boerboels.co.uk. Please check the name and try again". the problem has to be with my registrar? this is one steep learning curve!!
it was my registrar! sorted now, its hard knowing what to post because i have little experience in linux . so sorry for the confused posts!
