50% of queries will end in failure !?

I can't pretend to understand this report, but I ran an SOA(Domain Name) check on my www.businesswebpage.co.uk domain, and was a bit put out to see in bright red text that 50% of queries would end in failure.

It seems to be a result of the Security message when querying each of the name servers for the domain.

Security: Server ns1.weblever.co.uk (67.15.32.133) is recursive
Domain exists but there is no such record

and

Security: Server ns2.weblever.co.uk (67.15.32.134) is recursive
Domain exists but there is no such record

Does anyone know if this is something I should be worried about?

Any advice gratefully received

Alec

Check your www record

Can you check your dns (A) record for www?

Sounds like it's not in the zone in you dns.

It says that "www.businesswebpage.co.uk" exists, but there isn't a record of the type you have requested. This makes sense because you asked for SOA records, which occur at zone boundaries, and in this case your zone starts at businesswebpage.co.uk. www.businesswebpage.co.uk does exist, but not of type SOA.

You need to do either:
a) request businesswebpage.co.uk type SOA
b) request www.businesswebpage.co.uk type A

hope that helps

Same issue with A record query

January 27 2005, 11:23 PM 

I am having similar issues but with an A record and PTR record which do exist in our DNS server(s). The 2 queries are:

mail1.ewr2.n2pcorp.com A record
mail1.ewr2.n2pcorp.com PTR record

Both of the above return the error:

Security: Server dns1.n2p.com (216.53.5.49) is recursive
Error: No such domain

At the end of the report, I get:

25% of your queries to dns1.n2p.com will end in failure.
