Hi

I know you probably seen this a hundred times before but i have searched and tried before posting here.
I have a problem with my nameservers.
My domain is eccompany.ro, ip 86.122.193.38.
I have installed Debian Etch and ISPconfig.

I have setup ns1.eccompany.ro and ns2.eccompany.ro. The domain tld has these nameservers.
It's now been almost three days and this should have been enough time for the dns changes to propagate.
My server is behind a router but i did port-forward all the usual ports to the server.

My dnsreport shows the following problems:
1. ERROR: You have 2 nameservers, but both are on the same IP! This is not a valid setup. You are required to have at least 2 nameservers, per RFC 1035 section 2.2.
I think this one is not so bad.
2. ERROR: You have one or more lame nameservers. These are nameservers that do NOT answer authoritatively for your domain. This is bad; for example, these nameservers may never get updated. The following nameservers are lame:
86.122.193.38
86.122.193.38
3. ERROR: One or more of the nameservers listed at the parent servers are not listed as NS records at your nameservers. The problem NS records are:
ns1.eccompany.ro.
ns2.eccompany.ro.
4. No valid SOA record came back:
is not eccompany.ro.

Thanks for your help
 
The changes have propagated correctly. Your "official" nameservers are the two addresses that you give. I think Error 2 indicates that the world is able to

Check from a computer outside your network by using "nslookup - 86.122.193.38" to see if outside computers can query your nameserver.
 
[root@reboot ~]# nslookup - 86.122.193.38
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Dig only shows the question but no answer.

[root@reboot ~]# dig @86.122.193.38 eccompany.ro

You havent registred your DNS servers for your domain. Probably because you dont have 2 DNS server at 2 different ip-adresses.
 
Why does this work then ? I told my registrar what my nameservers are.

[root@reboot named]# dig @ns-ro.ripe.net eccompany.ro
