New domain, no DNS resolution except SOA

palijn · October 13, 2024, 5:58pm

Hello,
I registered a new domain this afternoon.
Then pointed the NS records to DeSec DNS Servers. (whois query shows they are registered).
Added the domain to the DNS managed domain, and 2 A records.
Several hours later, when querying various DNS servers, including DeSec own servers, the A records are not served.

nslookup example output :

chiensetfamille.fr
Server: ns2.desec.org.
Address: 2607:f740:e00a:deec::2#53
*** Can’t find chiensetfamille.fr: No answer
www.chiensetfamille.fr
Server: ns2.desec.org.
Address: 2607:f740:e00a:deec::2#53
** server can’t find www.chiensetfamille.fr: NXDOMAIN

What should I do ?
Thanks for your help!

Hello @palijn,

These are the only DNS Records I am seeing.
Are you sure you added an A Record (and in the proper place)?

palijn · October 13, 2024, 6:13pm

This is what I did. Where is my mistake ?
Thanks

The subdomain is only the www not the whole FQDN.

aaah! And then the root domain should be empty.

Trying now !
Thank you very much

May I hijack this thread? I seem to be having a similar problem. I can’t dig any of the A records, MX, TXT, or SPF. This is on the new domain willcox.us. I get the SOA but nothing else.

I try, fe., dig willcox.us MX - or - dig @8.8.8.8 willcox.us MX. Crickets.

Should I have started a new thread? It seemed on topic.

I THINK that it resolved yesterday shortly after I added it but I am not CERTAIN.

What did I screw up?

palijn · November 16, 2024, 5:21pm

It seems to resolve just fine to me.

 nslookup -type=mx willcox.us 9.9.9.9
Server:		9.9.9.9
Address:	9.9.9.9#53

Non-authoritative answer:
willcox.us	mail exchanger = 10 mail.rexquondam.com.

Here is what I see, and I agree with @palijn that it looks just fine.

$ nslookup -q=any willcox.us ns1.desec.io.

willcox.us      nameserver = ns2.desec.org.
willcox.us      mail exchanger = 10 mail.rexquondam.com.
willcox.us      text = "v=spf1 ip4:23.30.244.33/29 mx a ~all"

It happens to all of us from time to time, don’t sweat it.
