Re: [FreeDNS] my nameservers can't be found !!

["Andre Els" <andre@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

that was just a nslookup on a random unix box which also happens to be a
nameserver. That was just to prove that ns1.elshost.com and ns2.elshsot.com
resolves and do exist  ... but somehow the registering robot for za.net
can't find ns1/ns2.elshost.com

or sometimes it does find it , but then says its not authoritive for the
domain I am trying to register, so I am forced to make use of Free DNS
services, but it makes things a bit more complicated

Regards
Andre
