I have tried "dig @123.123.123.123 mydomain.com but it seems to time out, which suggests my external IP address cannot see my Nameservers I have an "A" record listed at my registrars CP for both my ns1 and ns2. Like I pointed out earlier (See above ^) that my registrars have put my name servers ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com as the main name servers. Could this be that my records are still not being resolved?
Use my DNS tutorial to test each name server you have separately, to see which of them have the A record and which do not. Then check what your domain registrar shows as authoritative name servers for you domain. It should not take longer than 48 hours to propagate the name service changes all around the world. Use Google name server, IP-address 8.8.8.8 to check, that usually takes less than an hour to update.
You shared your domain name before through PM. On query, I see the nameservers are still your providers nameservers and not your own.
When looking up the nameservers, this is the output: Code: me@pc ~ % dig ns example.com ; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> ns example.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 38410 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 512 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;example.com.

I think I'm getting there... Two problems one problem wich was an absolutely stupid mistake on my behalf was that I had my routers firewall turned on. The second problem was that the Domain registrar was not correctly propagating my A records. Now when I do a dig command:- I guess I just need to be brave enough to replace my registrar Nameservers with my own. So the question is... When I switch nameservers at my registrar should I remove my "A" records with my registrar or leave them in place. My thoughts are to leave them as they are not going any harm (Will they be being used)?
I just did some tests and I can't reach your nameserver on the hostname/IP you sent earlier. Are you sure the firewall issue is fixed?
Yes I did an external ping to ns1.mydomain.com and also managed an external "dig @123.123.123.123 mydomain.com any" all seems fine but also did a "dig @ns1.mydomain.com mydomain.com any" and get the following However, for ns2.mydomain.com I'm getting:- What have I missed or got wrong? [EDIT] After running Code: systemctl status bind9.service I'm getting...
Using a phone app that is not connected to my local wifi (Termux) I can use either dig using my external IP 123.123.123.123 or ns1.mydomain.com or ns2.mydomain.com and it correctly gives me similar results
Still not working here. I do see that ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com (example.com being your domain) are the same IP address, so it is not redundant at all. If your connection goes out, your DNS server(s) will be offline.
