DYN Domain Not Working

[constantin.baciu]

Hi Folks,

Something must have happened recently, but one of my DYN stopped working.

First, I've noticed the IP address in ZoneEdit was not updating (I need to investigate this separately).
But then, I've just manually changed the IP in ZoneEdit to match the IP. Even after waiting for a few hours, and DNS lookup would still return the old version.

My domain is vpn.e-nabled.ro. My registrar is set to have the following nameservers:

ns8.zoneedit.com
ns16.zoneedit.com
dns1.zoneedit.com
dns2.zoneedit.com

When I run a check using ZoneEdit, this is what I see (trimmed)

$ORIGIN e-nabled.ro.
$TTL 7200
@ IN SOA dns0.zoneedit.com. zone.zoneedit.com 1708713100 2400 360 1209600 300
@ IN NS ns16.zoneedit.com.
@ IN NS ns8.zoneedit.com.

When I run nslookup on my windows machine, this is what I get:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>nslookup vpn.e-nabled.ro ns16.zoneedit.com
Server: UnKnown
Address: 139.162.13.178

*** UnKnown can't find vpn.e-nabled.ro: Non-existent domain

C:\WINDOWS\system32>nslookup vpn.e-nabled.ro ns8.zoneedit.com
Server: UnKnown
Address: 139.162.141.192

*** UnKnown can't find vpn.e-nabled.ro: Non-existent domain

C:\WINDOWS\system32>nslookup vpn.e-nabled.ro dns1.zoneedit.com
Server: UnKnown
Address: 139.177.204.42

*** UnKnown can't find vpn.e-nabled.ro: Non-existent domain

C:\WINDOWS\system32>nslookup vpn.e-nabled.ro dns2.zoneedit.com
Server: UnKnown
Address: 50.116.13.244

*** UnKnown can't find vpn.e-nabled.ro: Non-existent domain

Is there anything I'm missing?

Hello,

We typically recommend doing a 'dig' instead of a 'nslookup' as it returns more accurate results. For example, I ran a dig against both ZE servers and Google's public server (8.8.8.8) and both are resolving vpn.e-nabled.ro to 79.115.136.173 which is what's specified under the settings. Please see attachments.

Hi @zeadmin,

Thanks for the quick reply.

This is what I'm getting:

I wonder if my local DNS is doing something funky.

Hello,

We're getting the correct IP using multiple networks, so yes there might be an issue with your local DNS.
