DNS changes not propagating

0

I have registered a domain through Amazon, added the DNS A records and shoed they work using dig when I specify the name server dig @205.251.198.207 dundeeurc.org i get an answer however when i dig the google server dig @8.8.8.8 dundeeurc.org i get none. Suspect the records are not propagating. I notice that the name servers in the dns config are not the same as those in the whois record. Anyone know what might be stopping propagation?

Hi,

The name servers in your domain registration should match the name servers that Route 53 assigned to your hosted zone. They don't currently match, which I think means that you deleted the hosted zone and later created another one. (Route 53 assigns four new name servers to a hosted zone whenever you create another one.)

Here's how you fix that:

  1. Get the name servers for your hosted zone. See "Getting the Name Servers for a Public Hosted Zone" in the Route 53 Developer Guide:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/GetInfoAboutHostedZone.html

  1. Update the domain registration to use the name servers that you got in step 1. See "Adding or Changing Name Servers and Glue Records for a Domain":

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-name-servers-glue-records.html

Thanks Scott, spot on about deleting and re-adding the hosted zone. Just made the changes and worked, thanks so much!
