I'm pretty new at DNS, so it's entirely possible I'm missing something obvious. I use godaddy for my registrar, and followed the excellent instructions in the FAQ (http://forums.dathorn.com/showthread.php?t=24) to create custom nameservers, but I'm still having some problems.
I have created the custom nameservers "ns1.starvale.net" and "ns2.starvale.net", using the appropriate IP addresses, in godaddy's interface. I then set the nameservers for another domain, fortressacademy.com, to ns1.starvale.net and ns2.starvale.net. Unfortunately, the domain is not resolving. Running a check at checkdns.net indicates that the nameservers resolve to IP addresses, but are not authoritative and do not return SOA.
I also notice that while I can go to dns73.gzo.com and get a reply, trying to visit ns1.starvale.net fails. If ns1.starvale.net is just pointing to dns73.gzo.com, shouldn't this work too?
I'm at a loss to know what I've done wrong...if somebody could point me in the right direction, I'd sure appreciate it! Thanks,
Matt
