DNS Problem with Cobalt.
We had a virtual server with a hosting company AIT, all the sites were pointing to AIT nameservers:
NS0.NAMESERVICES.NET
NS1.NAMESERVICES.NET
We moved to a dedicated cobalt server We registered our nameservers with networksolution.com as follows:
ns0.intra-sy.net
ns1.intra-sy.net
and tried to move some of our sites as an experiment such as al-mada.com, goldengroup-sy.com, and new domains such as: kassoumehstyle.com, textech-sy.com, glyco-a.com. We set up A record for each domain, and set the secondary DNS properly. Then we tried to open these sites we could for a while. We can`t often open a site by name because we had "Page not found", but after pinging its IP we could view the site for just a while then we had to redo the pinging again to review it again. However, we can open the site by its IP normally.
We worked with two ISPs and the problem was repeated with the both just with the sites on our servers not for the other sites in the world. Also we tried two other ISPs in another company but the same problem repeated.
Please note that we could open these sites when they where with AIT.
We tried to fix the problem with our new server company but we haven't found a solution yet.
The new cobalt server hosting company asked us to ask AIT which still hosts intra-sy.net on its nameserver to add a simple A record in their zone file and they replied:
---------Hello,
a> Unfortunatly our company policy does not allow us to set our DNS this way. Basically what you are asking for is called a c-name, using our DNS servers to point to an outside server. If you wish to
a> use your DNS then you will need to modify your domain registration to point to your DNS server, then set up an A record point to our servers. ----------
But cobalt server hosting company told us to ask them to add A CNAME in its nameservers zone file for our a.m. DNS to fix the problem, but we think that there is no relation between our sites on the server and our nameservers, and AIT nameservers. Can somebody explain?
Please note that intra-sy.net still on the old hosting company and it's just a virtual site.
Can anybody help us and find a solution for us? we spent a long time trying to fix the problem but in vain.
Thanks in advance.
