Hi everyone,

I created a name server on my companies domain and waited 3-4 days now for it to propagate. When I try to use ns1.mydomain.ca and ns2.mydomain.ca for .CA domains, it works.. no problem, opensrs allows me to add them.

When I try to add these name servers for a .com or .net domain, it says that it cant verify the existence of the name server.

Am I missing something here?

There should not be any limitations to using a .ca DNS servers. They should work the same as any other domain names. Run your domain name through http://www.dnsreport.com and see what it says. Chances are something else might not be set correctly.

I just did a report and it passed, there were a couple warnings (sayin both name servers were on the same C address range etc).

Here is my DNS settings in Win-DNS:

CODE

;
; Database file wiredsolutions.ca.dns for mydomain.ca zone.
; Zone version: 2004072409
;

@ IN SOA ns1.mydomain.ca. hostmaster.mydomain.ca. (

     2004072409 ; serial number

     3600 ; refresh

     900 ; retry

     604800 ; expire

     14400 ); default TTL

;
; Zone NS records
;

@ NS    ns1.mydomain.ca.

@ NS    ns2.mydomain.ca.

;
; Zone records
;

@ A    67.19.26.xxx

@ MX    21    mail.mydomain.ca.

* A    67.19.26.xxx

ftp A    67.19.26.xxx

mail A    67.19.26.xxx

ns1 A    67.19.26.xxx

ns2 A    67.19.26.xxx

www A    67.19.26.xxx

I created the ns's on the domain on Tuesday, i figured everything would be set by now.

Did you actually register the two name server domains as name servers with the registrar where you registered the tld? Without doing that, they certainly won't be recognised.

yep, i registered the name servers on the domain account (mydomain.ca) and I can ping both of them now.. but still cant add them as name servers to anything but .ca domains
