[GLLUG] DNS Help

[Ross S.]

Fyi, from my local workstation I can resolve both fine
(ping and http):


[fusion812@cube5 fusion812]$ nslookup
fruitloops.mathosting.com
Server:         64.7.161.12
Address:        64.7.161.12#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   fruitloops.mathosting.com
Address: 65.43.130.219

[fusion812@cube5 fusion812]$ nslookup
luckycharms.mathosting.com
Server:         64.7.161.12
Address:        64.7.161.12#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   luckycharms.mathosting.com
Address: 65.43.130.220

And both appear to be pointing to:

   Domain servers in listed order:
      NS1.GRANITECANYON.COM
      NS2.GRANITECANYON.COM

I would give it a few more hours and it should be
resolving properly for you. If it has not resoved
within 24 hours, I would contact your new DNS provider
(granitecanyon.com).
