Title: Urgent - All users read and test
Post by: TheBoy on 28 November 2006, 21:28:52
OK, following on from the fun and games earlier, I need to start undoing a couple of the fixes ASAP.

Please open a command prompt, and type

ping www.omegaowners.com

you should get a line about pinging x.x.x.x with 32 bytes of data - its the x.x.x.x I'm interested in.

Are you getting 217.155.56.220 or something else.  If you are getting something other than 217.155.56.220 you will lose access soon, so speak up!

We have a bodge set up in forum at moment that I need to get out really quickly (for reasons I do not wish to publically say at this point).  No changes to DNS, but need to ensure that DNS is working properly for everyone after HU's opps up earlier...

Response from www.dnsstuff.com for Reverse DNS on www.omegaowners.com:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
www.omegaowners.com is not an IP address, so I am using 217.155.56.220 (the A record for www.omegaowners.com).

Location: United Kingdom [City: London, England]

Preparation:
The  reverse DNS entry for an IP is found by reversing the IP, adding it to "in-addr.arpa", and looking up the PTR record.
So, the reverse DNS entry for 217.155.56.220 is found by looking up the PTR record for
 220.56.155.217.in-addr.arpa.
All DNS requests start by asking the root servers, and they let us know what to do next.
See How Reverse DNS Lookups Work for more information.

How I am searching:
Asking d.root-servers.net for 220.56.155.217.in-addr.arpa PTR record:  
       d.root-servers.net says to go to ns-ext.isc.org. (zone: 217.in-addr.arpa.)
Asking ns-ext.isc.org. for 220.56.155.217.in-addr.arpa PTR record:  
       ns-ext.isc.org [204.152.184.64] says to go to ns1.zen.co.uk. (zone: 155.217.in-addr.arpa.)
Asking ns1.zen.co.uk. for 220.56.155.217.in-addr.arpa PTR record:  Reports slcs-rh4-2.lettronics.com. [from 212.23.3.1]

Answer:
217.155.56.220 PTR record: slcs-rh4-2.lettronics.com. [TTL 86400s] [A=217.155.56.220]

Yes, thats correct response, but there is a possibility that some caching DNS servers used by ISPs may have cached the wrong settings, hence asking everyone.  Hopefully shouldn't be too much of a problem as we were runnning quite a long TTL, so hopefully most DNS caches didn't even see the HU changes.

My biggest concerns is corporate proxies, as they, for some reason, seem to ignore DNS TTL values...
