DNS Records and IntoDNS

My website works as it should but intoDNS is reporting the following issues:

FAIL: The following nameservers are listed at your nameservers as nameservers for your domain, but are not listed at the parent nameservers (see RFC2181 5.4.1). You need to make sure that these nameservers are working.If they are not working ok, you may have problems! server1.ubvps.co.uk

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: ns2.uniqbuy.com ns1.uniqbuy.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).

Stealth NS records were sent: server1.ubvps.co.uk

ERROR: No reverse DNS (PTR) entries. The problem MX records are: 99.203.154.95.in-addr.arpa -> no reverse (PTR) detected You should contact your ISP and ask him to add a PTR record for your ips

These are the relevant bits from my DNS records:

$ttl 38400
@ IN SOA server1.ubvps.co.uk. root.server1.ubvps.co.uk. (
1428704420
10800
3600
604800
38400 )
@ IN NS server1.ubvps.co.uk.
uniqbuy.com. IN A 95.154.203.99
www.uniqbuy.com. IN A 95.154.203.99
localhost.uniqbuy.com. IN A 127.0.0.1
autoconfig.uniqbuy.com. IN A 95.154.203.99
ns1.uniqbuy.com. IN NS ns1.uniqbuy.com.
ns2.uniqbuy.com. IN NS ns2.uniqbuy.com.

Can anyone tell me what I need to change to make the errors go away.

Thanks

Howdy,

You may want to go into Server Configuration -> DNS Records, and there, make sure that the "NS" records for your domain match the ones being used at your registrar.

Hi Eric

The records at the domain registrar are ns1.uniqbuy.com and ns2.uniqbuy.com.

I have added these records manually to the DNS records in virtualmin.

I don't really know what else to change.

I wrapped your DNS records above in "code" tags, and now I think I see what the issue is...

It looks like you're missing "A" records for your two NS records.

Both ns1 and ns2 would need to have "NS" records, which are correctly in there now.

But they would also need corresponding 'A' records, which define what the IP address is for both.

Try adding that, and see if that resolves the issue for you.

Do you mean add records as below. Didn't make any difference unfortunately.

$ttl 38400
@ IN SOA server1.ubvps.co.uk. root.server1.ubvps.co.uk. (
1428704422
10800
3600
604800
38400 )
@ IN NS server1.ubvps.co.uk.
uniqbuy.com. IN A 95.154.203.99
www.uniqbuy.com. IN A 95.154.203.99

admin.uniqbuy.com. IN A 95.154.203.99
autoconfig.uniqbuy.com. IN A 95.154.203.99

Howdy,

Hmm, those records aren't showing up as I attempted to do DNS lookups on that domain.

You may want to apply those changes by restarting BIND, if that hasn't been done already. There should be an "Apply" button on the DNS Records screen.

Or you could also just restart the BIND service using the command line.

Hello

Tried restarting but no change. I will probably just have to live with it unless some complications arise.

Thanks Naz
