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

Dude your first nameserver is localhost.  You need to find two remote
nameservers and then set it up that way.

Just to clarify a bit more.  127.0.0.1 is your local pc.  If you are
connected permanently to the net you can't use that as a nameserver even
if you wanted to.  You need to establish what your actual IP address is
and use that.

Hope this helps.

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

can anyone help or give advice on the following problem:

everytime when I want to register with my nameservers, it keep on saying
that it can't be found or its not authoritive, but as you can see it CAN
be
found :

> ns1.elshost.com
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   ns1.elshost.com
Address: 66.246.48.57
> ns2.elshost.com
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   ns2.elshost.com
Address: 66.246.48.58

and it IS authoritive :

ns1.elshost.com [66.246.48.57] returned an authoritative response in 47
