[ipcheck] problems with DNS setup on...

[GLJones]

I am getting the ipcheck e-mails for host1.wdwinv.com.

The hostname (host1.wdwinv.com) resolves to 69.44.58.108. It should resolve to 66.139.78.164. Please be sure to correct /etc/hosts as well as the 'A' entry in zone file for the domain.

I have checked my hosts file, resolv.conf file and DNS A records on the geodns.net nameservers.

Everything looks correct. It is telling me the ip address is set to a different ip than the correct one. I can find no setting in my DNS Zones or the files mentioned above with the incorrect ip.

Anyplace else I should look?

It looks like you have the zone configured on your server with the wrong IP address. You should remove the zone completely from your server since you're not doing the DNS. :)

I did have a zone set up for it but the IP in it was correct. I deleted it and will have to see if the ipcheck e-mail arrives again tomorrow morning.

Is there a command I could run to check it now?

When I do a query for host1.wdwinv.com I get the correct information. When I do a query your server directly, I get the wrong IP address:

~$ host host1.wdwinv.com 66.139.78.164
host1.wdwinv.com A 69.44.58.108


You may need to reset the A record for your hostname through WHM.

Done!

I tried dnsreport.com and it won't pick up host1.wdwinv.com because it doesn't have a zone record. Not sure if this is a problem. wdwinv.com comes back just fine.

You are using GeoDNS for nameservers, but your server seems to have a different idea of what the nameservers should be:

$ host -t ns wdwinv.com
wdwinv.com NS ns2.geodns.net
wdwinv.com NS ns1.geodns.net
$ host -t ns wdwinv.com 66.139.78.164
wdwinv.com NS ns1.geodns.net.wdwinv.com
!!! wdwinv.com NS host ns1.geodns.net.wdwinv.com does not exist
wdwinv.com NS ns2.geodns.net.wdwinv.com
!!! wdwinv.com NS host ns2.geodns.net.wdwinv.com does not exist


This means the zone is still configured on your server somewhere .. check the named.conf and make sure there is no entry for it. Also, since you are using GeoDNS nameservers, you need to add an A record for "host1" to your wdwinv.com zone in the DNS Tool.

OK,

I removed 2 zones from the file. One zone was "." and the other was "wdwinv.com"

I checked the DNS tool and I did have host1.wdwinv.com pointing to the IP address (correct). I removed it and pointed it to wdwinv.com (as a subdomain). I don't see any other way to do it. In the tool, adding a new domain (A record) has the entry box with www. in front. Should I just add it in there (showing www.host1.disinv.com) and it will add it correctly?

What's up with the name server listing....

# host -t ns wdwinv.com 66.139.78.164
Using domain server:
Name: 66.139.78.164
Address: 66.139.78.164#53
Aliases:

wdwinv.com name server ns1.geodns.net.wdwinv.com.
wdwinv.com name server ns2.geodns.net.wdwinv.com.


I can't find where it is getting ns1.geodns.net.wdwinv.com.

Thanks

OK...I looked into my resolv.conf file again and found 3 items. The first nameserver was the local host. (nameserver 127.0.0.1) I removed it and it appears to have corrected the listing using the host command. (removed the .wdwinv.com from the NS)
