was just wondering, if i have a nameserver , which has a glue entry with a ttl of 48 hours , if I changed that record with my registrar , and they have been showing it changed for four days now, plus I changed it on my own nameservers....


why does my glue still show the old address , am I right in thinking something seems wrong?

I don't *think* any record you have in your own DNS will have any effect at all on the TTL of the glue-type records.

48 hours is quite typical for changes like that to propagate. But if it has been 48 hours already......something may be wrong. Try making the change again, just in case?

I presume you are using www.dnsreport.com to check things?

Yes to using DNS report,

1 and 1 is my registrar , the way they handle glue records is to make a "subdomain" of ns1 , with a specific ip address.

My zonefile also has this new ip address for continuity , my own zonefile has a TTL of 24 hours , but 1and1 glue states 48 in dns report.

PASS Missing Direct Parent check OK. Your direct parent zone exists, which is good. Some domains (usually third or fourth level domains, such as example.co.us) do not have a direct parent zone ('co.us' in this example), which is legal but can cause confusion.
INFO NS records at parent servers Your NS records at the parent servers are:

ns1.yourcompsolution.com. [207.234.224.185] [TTL=172800] [US]
ns2.yourcompsolution.com. [74.208.69.200] [TTL=172800] [US]
[These were obtained from f.gtld-servers.net]

Ns1 should read 66.135.48.29.

Now that my zonefile is out and about on the internet... should I maybe just delete the glue with 1and1 , possibly recreating it after my server hands out correct info..?
