RE: [FreeDNS] my nameservers can't be found !!
Actually Jan, you are wrong here. His NS records are ns1.elshost.com and
ns2.elshost.com. He happened to be querying his localhost when he tested.
The problem I notice is that the A records for ns1.elshost.com and
ns2.elshost.com don't exist.
$ host ns1.elshost.com
ns1.elshost.com does not exist, try again
$ host ns2.elshost.com
ns2.elshost.com does not exist, try again
$ host ns1.elshost.com 66.246.48.57
ns1.elshost.com does not exist at ip-addr-66-246-48-57.qnoc.net
(Authoritative answer)
$ host ns1.elshost.com 66.246.48.58
ns1.elshost.com does not exist at ip-addr-66-246-48-58.qnoc.net
(Authoritative answer)
Checking the addresses quoted by Andre, I confirm that the aels.za.net
domain is authoritive on the two nameservers, however the failure to locate
the nameservers by name is the failing, as evident below:
$ host -t ns aels.za.net 66.246.48.57
aels.za.net NS ns2.elshost.com
!!! aels.za.net NS host ns2.elshost.com does not exist
aels.za.net NS ns1.elshost.com
!!! aels.za.net NS host ns1.elshost.com does not exist
Andre, sort out the A records for ns1.elshost.com and ns2.elshost.com first.
Regards,
- Craig.

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.
