Domain DNS.

Ive been with freedns for ages, but realised i have no backup dns service.

I also had no backup mx service either for my e-mails, not been a worry until recently when our connections been very dodgy.

So i signed up with rollernet.us for their backup e-mail, (didn't use their backup dns as it pulled up even more errors to do with it being a .US service or something).

and signed up with zoneedit.com for their backup dns.

I think ive got it all working, but my registrar(1and1) doesnt allow more than 4 nameservers in use (so i can only use 2 of the 4 freedns ns's) and 2 of the backup ns's....

My question is, is there anything wrong with this dnsreport?

Here...

something about stealth nameservers? - Anyone explain this?

Any help appreciated

okay so i ignore the glue.

The 'leakage' or whatever that is, i've read a little and think that my main dns server (ns1.afraid.org) is telling parent nameservers that ns3 and ns4 also hold my dns info but they are not added at registrar level? - would this be ok or is this a problem?

What zones do i check with which provider?

Do i need the "allow AXFR" ticked with freedns, for zoneedit to create a backup? (it is currently but wasn't when i first set it up (so it took revision 16) - i thnk it should be but it hasn't updated revisions overnight now.

I can't alter any SOA info as that is preset with freedns and only the ttl is available to be altered (which is okay with dnsreport).

And the duplicate mx, thats not normally like that, each 1and1 host is a round robin, and that problems never come up before...

Thanks very much for your help!

I've now unticked the allow axfr, and theyve re-synced!! weird...

oh well... best leave it be....

Also the MX problem has sorted itself...

The Stealth servers.. is this anything to worry about?

Thanks again,
Alex

theyre not in my dns zones....

does that mean freedns are hiding them? - I can't see them at all.
