dynamic address updated in zoneedit but not being advertised

I got into this problem where the dynamic IP of my domain is being updated correctly to zoneedit but if I try to access the domain, then it would point me to a totally different IP address.

For example, my domain chantam.net, has the correct IP address 98.110.235.135 registered with zoneedit using ddclient. However, when I do dig chantam.net, it would return 96.233.56.184 .

This happened only recently in the last two days and I don't know what could have caused the problem.

Would someone able to give me some idea as how to fix it?

Thank you,

wow, that is good to know. This problem happened twice for me now in a few months. I was just not sure of what it was.

Do you still have the problem? I could not wait for the problem to go away by itself so I switch to use the freedns service from namecheap and it seems to fix the problem for me.

Hi, apologies for the delay.

I am seeing the same address returned from a dig vs what is on the control panel:

I'm having a similar challenge...

Registrar is name.com

on Name.com I have set the dns to
dns1.zoneedit.com
dns2.zoneedit.com

Connection is Dynamic and the IP is update correctly.,

If I default my DNS locally to dns1.zonedit.com my domain robertfontaine.ca is routed correctly.

BUT the routing has not cascaded out to the other DNS servers 24 hours later (gooogle 8.8.8.8 etc).

I could use some suggestions. It looks like things should be working.

hi there

on your zoneedit members page on the dns settings area you would need to change the NS records from name.com to:
dns1.zoneedit.com
dns2.zoneedit.com

to match the delegation listed in the domains whois record at its registrar.

Thanks

Thanks sandy, I appreciate it.
I suspect this will become easier after I transfer my domains ;).

First though I want to see that it dynamic ips works nicely and I'm too cheap to pay for a static IP/business account from my residential service provider.

you can use a site like centralops.net use their ns lookup tool and set the severs as one of the zoneedit servers delegated to the domain in the zone check tool.

thanks
