New server with 1and1 / DNS Issue

[EnigmaX]

Can someone look at tavhost.com, because it's not resolving.
I have another server with 1and1 and seems to be fine and
working this one it is with opensrs and the other is with
godaddy which I am more comfortable to make changes, tucows,
is another story.


These are the two IP, I got from them:
82.165.232.225
82.165.235.179
ns1.tavhost.com and ns2.tavhost.com

Your DNS servers dont appear to be running on the names/IPs listed in your WHOIS record for tavshost.com...

[root@www ~]whois tavhost.com

Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.TAVHOST.COM 82.165.235.179
NS2.TAVHOST.COM 82.165.232.225

1and1 issue...

Might be them because I noticed I had to tell them what ports I wanted to open and they might have forgotten..

I got the following running local:

PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp open ftp
22/tcp open ssh
25/tcp open smtp
53/tcp open domain
80/tcp open http
106/tcp open pop3pw
110/tcp open pop3
143/tcp open imap
443/tcp open https
465/tcp open smtps
783/tcp open hp-alarm-mgr
953/tcp open rndc
993/tcp open imaps
995/tcp open pop3s
8443/tcp open https-alt
Device type: general purpose
Running: Linux 2.4.X
OS details: Linux 2.4.7 (X86)

Time to call or email them again,
+ the udp traffic on the 53. so I know the DNS is running..

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, they are timing out. Have you made sure that your firewall is not blocking DNS requests?

Edit: posted this just as you were also posting.

There is no response to port 53.

So yes, I would check with 1and1 on the ports that they actually have open.

 

[jshanley]

BIND uses both TCP & UDP by the way (depending on the size of the reply packet). Make sure they opened 53/UDP as well.

(edit: Replaced the word "DNS" with "Bind")

1and1 getting all...

In the past they left all Plesk ports open, I recently got another
one with like 4 ports and I sent them an email asking for all Plesk
ports open and they failed to do so. I also asked Webmin port
open on a diff. port.. but than again you're dealing with 1and1.

Their support no. is hidden and in return I'm searching it on WHT Forum.

Firewall is down.. and still no response.

 

[jshanley]

Well, do this. SSH into your server, and try to look up something using your local dns (on your new server). Something like:

# host www.google.com 82.165.235.179

... or: host www.google.com 82.165.232.225

If you get a response, then it's running fine on your local machine, your host sucks, and they (still!) have it filtered. Why they would filter DNS on a Plesk machine they sell (and should understand what it needs) blows me away, but I've seen some stupid stuff before...

If you dont get a response when looking stuff up directly on your server (like the line above), you need to look into what's broken with DNS on your machine.

Anyway, your dns is still not accessable from outside as of right now. Just letting you know; it still times out.

Aaaaaaaaahhh!

Son of a gun... fixed it.. 1and1 I guess has a web based Cisco/Pix firewall
where you can go in there and use their stupid wizard to apply rules and
my 2nd ip had the web-email rules on, removed them all and they all can respond
to the scan. I will give it another 24 hours for the rest to propagate and
hopefully we'll be up and running tomorrow.

When I bought the 1st server early last year they didn't have all these add-ons
and haven't logged in their panel for months.

This should take care of it, thanks for the quick response and the heads up.

opensrs issue

I think it's an opensrs issue because I have another domain registered with
godaddy.com and works fine. The tavhost.com is having issues resolving and
tried manually updating stuff with no luck.

I'll just transfer domain/use diff. domain.
