All the errors are listed in the wall of text from UniForum:

FQDN: ns1.synapticweb.co.za ==> [WARN: No A records!]
FQDN: ns1.synapticweb.co.za ==> [WARN: No AAAA records!]

FQDN: ns2.synapticweb.co.za ==> [WARN: No A records!]
FQDN: ns2.synapticweb.co.za ==> [WARN: No AAAA records!]

Just a warning - so you ignore it for now.

The SOA record for synapticweb.co.za at 173.0.52.199 can not be retreived.

! The most common reasons for this is that the Nameserver is not currently
! reachable or the Nameserver has not been configured for this domain.

I think thats self explanatory. Your ns1 is not responding to requests. Have you tested it to check?

;; The Nameserver "ns2.synapticweb.co.za." at IP "173.0.52.207"
;; does not have a reverse FQDN entry and as such will be rejected.
;; A 'dig -x 173.0.52.207' gives:-

;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 34856

The rDNS for ns2 is not working. Where did you set it up? Have you tested that you ISP has propagated the change to their servers?

 

[koeksGHT]

I have set up the rDNS and at time of testing it was working.

Will have to see again.

I have re submitted the application without ip6 to simplify the problems.

I have tried a few dig requests and all seemed fine. Not sure why it can't "find" the nameserver

Are you sure that the bind daemons are running on those 2 servers?

root@ns3 [~]# dig SOA synapticweb.co.za @173.0.52.207

Sorry the BIND server was down after a reboot yesterday. But I have had this problem for over a week now.

Sorry the BIND server was down after a reboot yesterday.

Are both these IPs on one server?? :wtf:

If you've fixed all the errors that where listed above then resubmit the DNS update.

For now yes, haven't bothered with setting up another server for redundancy yet.

Will start on that when the DNS update is accepted. Have to wait 24 hours for their automated system. Hope it works! Thanks

 

[koeksGHT]

Ok so the DNS updated and this is the error I get now. Any ideas?

The domain update request for synapticweb.co.za has been suspended until
the DNS errors are resolved.

The problem/s are as follows:-

Your reverse DNS is still broken. You cannot fix this yourself - only your service provider can.

Your service provider has 2 servers authoritative for the rDNS zone: NS101.VIRPUS.COM & NS202.VIRPUS.COM. These two servers are sending inconsistent replies to queries.

I'm failing to understand how they managed to screw that up 2 times. Both times they told me they set it. Guess I'm off to query them again. Thanks for the input!
