Failed DNS transfer

1

We started a domain transfer to Route 53 sometime ago, but it doesn't seem to have worked. In the Route 53 console the NS record has these entries:

ns-1684.awsdns-18.co.uk.
ns-839.awsdns-40.net.
ns-1401.awsdns-47.org.
ns-507.awsdns-63.com.

But when we run an nslookup, it gives these values:

nslookup -type=ns *******.com
Server:		***.**.***.***
Address:	***.**.***.***#53
Non-authoritative answer:
*******.com	nameserver = ns-602.awsdns-11.net.
*******.com	nameserver = ns-1037.awsdns-01.org.
*******.com	nameserver = ns-1774.awsdns-29.co.uk.
*******.com	nameserver = ns-182.awsdns-22.com.
Authoritative answers can be found from:

(domain and IPs have been replaces with *s) How can we fix this?

Hi,

How did you start a domain transfer, and from where? From the nslookup output it looks like it's already in Route53 but on a different account. Please check this documentation and ensure you completed all steps https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-transfer-between-aws-accounts.html

P.S. You forgot to hide a domain name everywhere, it's still visible

  • Thanks for pointing that out, I've hidden the domain names now. The domain transfer was done from GoDaddy. At the time of the transfer we also had a AWS Amplify project linked to a subdomain of the domain we are transfering. Do you think that might have interfered? Maybe the DNS transfer was done to the NS for the Amplify project, but not the main account's Route 53?

  • Yes, it could be. Just go to the Route53 -> Registered domains -> your_domain and in details update Name servers to the ones you have in your Hosted Zone for the domain.

I also have the same question as dobe. Any help here would be much appreciated.
