If this weren’t so typically Network Solutions, I’d be laughing out loud. When I updated the domain records for all of the sites I host, I specified that the DNS running off my ADSL connection was primary and the DNS operated by the other Grant was secondary. The secondary DNS would just do what it was told and pull the authoritative zone data from the primary server. Since the primary DNS was all set up and ready to rock, I felt no need or hurry to get the secondary data set up on the other server. In retrospect, that was a dumb move. Apparently somewhere in the domain name data soup, Network Solutions gets the primary and secondary server designations mixed up. Using the whois cgi form on their site, the name server entries appear in the order I specified. But, using a command line ns lookup or another whois site, the server order is reversed. WTF? No wonder the information isn’t propagating, every name server on the planet is trying to pull data from the machine that doesn’t have it yet. Yet. Stay tuned for next episode.
