Re: [DSL] DNS issue with Focalprice.com ???

said by peteypab:

So it must have something to do with Teksavvy's DNS Servers....

It is not an issue with Teksavvy's DNS servers. It is an issue with the name servers hosting a domain (iproot.com) which www.focalprice.com points to via a CNAME record.

If it's not a problem with TSI DNS servers, why would w only have issues getting those domains resolved when accessing the net via TSI - and not have that problem when accessing it via other networks (i.e. cellular) or ISP's? Folks this is a real and annoying problem.

If this was the case then it should be a problem no matter what DNS servers you use, but it only doesn't work when using Teksavvy's DNS and it still hasn't been resolved.

I ran a trace against the domain and the reason why it's not working is that it's basically broken

the zone focalprice.com has no SOA record. So it's refusing to resolve it as it should.

So why is it only broken when using Teksavvy DNS servers? It works just fine with Google, OpenDNS and Verizon DNS servers.

I can't comment why it is still broken with TSI's name servers but I was seeing problems with other name servers yesterday. I mentioned the other domain and their associated servers above in the thread but those authoritative name servers have been fixed and the domain in question is resolving properly now.

I don't see that. Their authoritative name servers are providing SOA records.

$ host -t SOA focalprice.com ns1.dnsv5.com

I've been having issues as well; can't connect to my VPN or servers over in Europe for the past 24 hours or so. Only way is via proxy (which doesn't suit my purpose) - otherwise, tracert fails every time. (openDNS, google dns, few others)

Possibly not related but I'm banging my head against the wall here, and who knows it might help.

Cheers.

Completely unrelated. Take up the issue with your VPN provider. Probably a routing related issue and one within their own network.
