local resolve problem after account removal

Hello,

I just removed an account from a server, and i need to communicate with the new server.
It's the first time I do that.
I removed all the zones regarding that account (myserveraccount.com).
but if I do:
#host myserveraccount.com

I dont get anything instead of the new ip number of the new server.

also a dig does not report the correct A field.

But the strange thing is that the
dig SOA myserveraccount.com report the proper authority secrion.
dig NS myserveraccount.com report the correct dns fields!

Seems that only the A field is not resolved by main servers.

I am missing something?

Thank you in advance.

 

Hello,

Ok I have checked with dig and dig properly respond with a empty A field.

In my resolv.conf i have in that order:
ns1.mydns1.com
ns2.mydns2.com
ns1.otherdns.com
ns2.otherdns.com

All the servers are not resolving, and via dig i can check that those ns are not resolving the ip for mydomain.com
And this is the problem, seems that named after i have removed th zone for mydomain.com does not respond with "fail" but respond with an empty A field.

If i try to resolve a non existent domain, as example:
#host qepqeowewp.com
i properly get
Host qepqeowewp.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

if i try:
#host mydomain.com

i get an empty string and not the "Host not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)" error.

So named properly respond with an empty zone but not anymore with a "3 non existent domain" error, and I think that is for that reason does not try to search on the whois ns records of mydomain.com.

 

Hello,

I have solved the problem changing the order of the nameservers in resolv.conf

I have changed resolv.conf from

nameserver ***.***.***.*** (my local ns ip 1)
nameserver ***.***.***.*** (my local ns ip 2)

nameserver 208.67.222.222 (opendns)
nameserver 208.67.220.220 (opendns)

to

nameserver 208.67.222.222 (opendns)
nameserver 208.67.220.220 (opendns)
nameserver ***.***.***.*** (my local ip 1)
nameserver ***.***.***.*** (my local ip 2)

(opendns is used as an example, i not use opendns but other dns)
And now it works. But i am not sure that this is the best thing to do.
This also solved some "unrouteable mail" errors.
