DNS errors - need help to correct
[it is a w2k box]
WARNING: Your SOA EXPIRE time is : 86400 seconds. This seems a bit low. You should consider increasing this value to about 1209600 to 2419200 seconds (2 to 4 weeks). RFC1912 recommends 2-4 weeks. This is how long a secondary/slave nameserver will wait before considering its DNS data stale if it can't reach the primary nameserver.
WARNING: Your SOA REFRESH interval is : 180 seconds. This seems very low. You should consider increasing this value to about 3600-7200 seconds. RFC1912 2.2 recommends a value between 1200 to 43200 seconds (20 minutes to 12 hours). A value that is too low will unncessarily increase Internet traffic.
ERROR: Your SOA (Start of Authority) record states that your DNS contact E-mail address in hostname format is: admin.. However, that is NOT valid (it must have at least 2 '.''s in it and no '@')!
ERROR: Your SOA (Start of Authority) record states that your master (primary) name server is: ns1.. However, that is not a valid domain name!
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:
pdns.xxxx.com.
pri.xxxxx.com.
FAIL: You have one or more missing (stealth) nameservers. The following nameserver(s) are listed (at your nameservers) as nameservers for your domain, but are not listed at the the parent nameservers (therefore, they may or may not get used, depending on whether your DNS servers return them in the authority section for other requests, per RFC2181 5.4.1). You need to make sure that these stealth nameservers are working; if they are not responding, you may have serious problems! The DNS Report will not query these servers, so you need to be very careful that they are working properly.
xy1.xxxx.com.
This is listed as an ERROR because there are some cases where nasty problems can occur (if the TTLs vary from the NS records at the root servers and the NS records point to your own domain, for example).
ERROR: One or more of the NS records that your nameservers report are invalid:
ns1. is not a valid host name
