tindns / djbdns weird problem
i run tinydns (djbdns)
ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com
ns1 is on server #1
ns2 is on another server on another network
anyway
i host 30 subdomains
http://yourname.mydomain.com
i host them for free, 15mb each
that means 30 dns records for type A.
that means 30 of these
+subdomain.mydomain.com:IP
anyway, to add a dns record
this is what i do
cd /etc/tinydns/root -- on server #1
pico data
scroll down
+bob.mydomain.com:216.18.0.178
save it
then hop on server #2
cd /etc/tinydns/root
pico data
put the sam ething in
save
then type 'make' in the dir on both servers
for those that use djbdns/tinydns -- u know what i'm talking about
anyway, my problem is, sometimes,,, some people tell me that when they goto a subdomain, like http://joe.mydomain.com -- it says page cannot be displayed.
I'll go in a chat room, and i'll find a random URL i host (A random subdomain) and i'll be like
Everyone go to http://joe.mydomain.com and tell me if it loads
most of them say it loads
usually 1-2 say it says
"Page cannot be displayed"
I mean, am i adding dns records the wrong way?
is there something i'm doing wrong?
i always do it like this:
+name.domain.com:IP
this is whats in my data file for server #1
################################
# mydomain.com -- begin
.mydomain.com:207.218.219.38:ns1.mydomain.com
.mydomain.com:207.99.115.16:ns2.mydomain.com:12343
# code: MX
@mydomain.com::mail.mydomain.com.:0:3600
# A
+mydomain.com:216.18.0.178
+buck.mydomain.com:216.18.0.178
+bw.mydomain.com:216.18.0.178
that's what I have in my data file for server #1 (aka ns1)
well, thats just the beginning part.
here's what the data file says on my server #2 (ns2)
################################
# mydomain.com -- begin
.mydomain.com:207.218.219.38:ns1.mydomain.com
.mydomain.com:207.99.115.16:ns2.mydomain.com:12343
# code: MX
@mydomain.com::mail.mydomain.com.:0:3600
# A
+mydomain.com:216.18.0.178
+buck.mydomain.com:216.18.0.178
+bw.mydomain.com:216.18.0.178
I mean. I just dont get it
Funny thing is, someone came up to me and said
"hey, some people can't goto my site"
i said what do you mean?
he said "when they go, it says page cannot be displayed"
I said ok, how can i talk to one of these people? I want to see if i can figure out whats wrong
So i contact this one guy
i ask him to goto http://www.mydomain.com
it loads
i ask him to goto http://joe.mydomain.com
doesn't load
page cannot be displayed
wtf?
i ask him to goto another subdomain...... page cannot be displayed
Has anyone ever seen anything like this?
I dont think their dns servers are jacked. (The people who get page cannot be displayed)
I mean what could it be? Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions? maybe i'm doing something wrong with my data files.
any help is appreciated.
thanks
