Domains not resolving after update

[varzi]

Sites are not resolving after the updates please advise how to fix the problem.

How long has it been since the domain update?

It has sometimes taken as long a 4 days for my domains to resolve after an update because my ISP is very slow to update their DNS server. Has it been longer than that? Have you had others check to see if it resolves for them?

[DirectAdmin Support]

To which updates are you referring? DirectAdmin updates involve extracting a compressed file.... they have no effect on domain resolving.

What I always do it test to make sure that the server is providing the correct dns information, even before it propogates by telling dig which server to use to do the lookup:

dig @yourserver.com yourdomain.com

This is how I check to see if a domain *will* resolve properly, even before it resolves.

Note: You have to wait at least a minute so that named can restart after any changes before running this test... in case you make a change and test it 2 seconds after :)
