DNS not resolving

[cyberfreek]

Hello.

I have configured a dns server to resolve pathwayschurch.com. The domain is registered and configured to point to ns1.pathwayschurch.com - 67.117.134.134 as the primary and because it is required through netsol, I entered my name server ns1.gigdev.com - 64.81.61.196 as the secondary server. I can not resolve

http://www.pathwayschurch.com

nor server01.pathwayschurch.com but I can resolve ns1.pathwwayschurch.com. I can resolve successfuly locally on my windows 2000 server which is the dns server. I forgot to mention that I can not see the mx record when I do an nslookup.

This is what I get when I run the following:

C:\>nslookup pathwayschurch.com

Server: ecdc2.esuhsd.org

Address: 170.91.1.103

DNS request timed out.

timeout was 2 seconds.

*** ecdc2.esuhsd.org can't find pathwayschurch.com: Non-existent domain

C:\>nslookup

Default Server: ecdc2.esuhsd.org

Address: 170.91.1.103

> server 67.117.134.134

Server: adsl-67-117-134-134.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net

Non-authoritative answer:

pathwayschurch.com nameserver = NS1.GIGDEV.com

pathwayschurch.com nameserver = NS1.pathwayschurch.com

pathwayschurch.com nameserver = NS1.GIGDEV.com

pathwayschurch.com nameserver = NS1.pathwayschurch.com

NS1.GIGDEV.com internet address = 64.81.61.196

NS1.pathwayschurch.com internet address = 67.117.134.134

> set type=mx

> pathwayschurch.com

Server: adsl-67-117-134-134.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net

Can you please help me out. I am stumped and frustrated.

Thank you very much for your support

It would probably help here is you could list the contents of the actual zone file. On a Windows server it should be in \WINNT\system32\dns. Most likely it will be named Pathwayschurch.com.dns.

No problem ststokes. Here you go.

;
; Database file pathwayschurch.com.dns for pathwayschurch.com zone.
; Zone version: 17
;

@ IN SOA server01.pathwayschurch.com. admin.pathwayschurch.com. (
17 ; serial number
900 ; refresh
600 ; retry
86400 ; expire
3600 ) ; minimum TTL

;
; Zone NS records
;

I'm sorry. I saw some errors with my recent changes. Here is the latest config.

;
; Database file pathwayschurch.com.dns for pathwayschurch.com zone.

Okay, don't ask me why but I had a heck of a time getting the MX record to read properly on my Win2K server when I recreated this. Which is probably why I use Linux and BIND for everything except internal AD DNS.

Below is the copy of the zone record that I created that does work. The only thing that I can point out is that you should remove the entries for the 192.168.254.x entries for the hosts. That can get things a little confused at times. Especially if an outside person gets that IP.

;
; Database file Pathwayschurch.com.dns for pathwayschurch.com zone.
; Zone version: 25
;

@ IN SOA server01.pathwayschurch.com. admin.pathwayschurch.com. (
25 ; serial number
900 ; refresh
600 ; retry
86400 ; expire
3600 ) ; minimum TTL

;
; Zone NS records
;

@ NS server01.pathwayschurch.com.

;
; Zone records
;

@ A 67.117.134.134
@ MX 10 server01.pathwayschurch.com.
server01 A 67.117.134.134
www A 67.117.134.134


I hope this helps you because it confused the heck outta me. Scott
