All the nameserver configuration is still out of sync.
It's a bit worrying to see that BB Online haven't managed to
pin-point and fix these problems, when they're supposed to be an
ICANN accredited registrar.
Querying the CORE registry database:
% whois -h whois.crsnic.net skyforge.net
[..]
Domain Name: SKYFORGE.NET
Registrar: BB ONLINE UK LTD
Whois Server: whois.nominate.net
Referral URL: www.nominate.net
Name Server: BRAIN.BB-ONLINE.CO.UK
Name Server: No nameserver
Updated Date: 15-jan-2001
So the domain is delegated to just one name server:
% host BRAIN.BB-ONLINE.CO.UK
BRAIN.BB-ONLINE.CO.UK has address 62.253.218.131
Now, we'll query the BB Online database direct:
% whois -h whois.nominate.net skyforge.net
[..]
Domain Created 10 November 2000
Domain Expires 10 November 2002
Last updated on 10 November 2000
[..]
Nameservers:
194.73.89.1 194.73.89.1
That says the domain is delegated to a completey different name server.
Checking the GTLD nameservers:
% host -t ns skyforge.net K.GTLD-SERVERS.net
Using domain server:
Name: K.GTLD-SERVERS.net
Address: 213.177.194.5
skyforge.net name server NS1.BB-ONLINE.NET
So the root nameservers think that the delegation is something else
again (which is odd because the root nameserver zones should be
built from the database(s) I'd have thought).
[ That is bad I think! The CRS database, the registrar database
and the root nameservers should not be out of sync I'd have thought?? ]
We'll also check to see what DNS data these different nameservers
are holding for the skyforge.net domain:
% host -t ns skyforge.net BRAIN.BB-ONLINE.CO.UK
Using domain server:
Name: BRAIN.BB-ONLINE.CO.UK
Address: 62.253.218.131
skyforge.net name server ns1.bb-online.net
skyforge.net name server ns2.bb-online.net
% host ns1.bb-online.net
ns1.bb-online.net has address 194.168.163.59
% host ns2.bb-online.net
ns2.bb-online.net has address 194.168.163.58
That says the domain is delegated to a completely different pair of
nameservers.
% host -t ns skyforge.net 194.73.89.1
Using domain server 194.73.89.1:
skyforge.net name server mailhost.eurosoft-uk.com
skyforge.net name server ns1.bb-online.co.uk
skyforge.net name server brain.bb-online.co.uk
So just for fun, the 194.73.89.1 nameserver also thinks the domain
is delegated to different nameservers.
You really need to get all this synced up.
The key is that:
a) CRS/registrar/GTLD delegation is pointing at the correct servers
b) the correct servers are serving the zone with the correct data
I don't understand how the CRS/registrar/GTLD data can be so out
of sync!
