Re: nslookup and internal server

My apology Ace Fekay.

Originally the domain (take it as abcd.com, pages at http://www.abcd.com),
is at a hosting company A.

I create a domain (abcd.com) on another hosting company B; change the
DNS record to point to the server at B (the domain space is removed at
company A).

The hosting package is irrelevant, I think (but it is on Linux).

After 72 hours (that is what commonly said) of DNS record propagation,
everybody will be directed to the server at B. The change will be
transparent to others, I think.

I can send email to 'abcd.com' ( I am using another hosting company).
I have done this several times before.

But this time one company says it cannot send mail to 'abcd.com', and
this company maintains its windows server, I was told (see below the
default server, private IP).

Following is the nslookup log (name fictitious); the Non-authoritative
answer is not correct.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>nslookup
Default Server: tim.atec.nitako.local
Address: 10.174.10.2

server 202.188.0.132
Default Server: cns1.tm.net.my
Address: 202.188.0.132

srihangdo.com
Server: cns1.tm.net.my
Address: 202.188.0.132

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: srihangdo.com.tim.atec.nitako.local
Address: 203.106.203.238









I had to read this through a few times before I understood what you were
trying to say with the limited configuration data you've provided that we
normally need to diagnose an issue, such as previous IP, new IP, who was
your previous hosting provider, your new provider, was public DNS server
registrar records changed, etc.

So just to get it straight, you had a website running on a Windows server in
your company running your network. Then you decided to move the website (not
move the domain) to a different Windows server (or is it hosting company?),
which is not part of your company, that is at a different location entirely.

Correct so far?

Now the server would of course be using that other company's resources, such
as their network and their DNS server. Now you are wondering why it's host
record is not updating into their DNS server.

But then again, if it is just a web hosting company, and you did notn change
DNS info, then the public DNS records for your domain (assuming this is a
public website), have to be changed manually with whomever your registrar
is.

If mail delivery is now hampered, then it may tell me that you moved to a
different hosting company, including your Hostname Server (SOA or DNS)
records to that new company.. If so, have you asked them to change your MX
record to reflect the new mail server, or make an entry for your MX record
to point to the existing

If I misunderstood anything, please elaborate wtih the following info to
better understand the before and after of what occured.

Can you post the results of your nslookup and explain what was being looked
up?

Thanks,
