dns error
Hi all,

Please go thro the result of an nslookup and let me know the reason for the error

D:\>nslookup india.cymfony.com
Server: 203-195-198-244.now-india.net.in
Address: 203.195.198.244

*** 203-195-198-244.now-india.net.in can't find india.cymfony.com: Server fail

But with address is working

D:\>nslookup 203.195.198.244
Server: 203-195-198-244.now-india.net.in
Address: 203.195.198.244

Name: 203-195-198-244.now-india.net.in
Address: 203.195.198.244

Thanks in advance

Your first nslookup:

D:\>nslookup india.cymfony.com
Server: 203-195-198-244.now-india.net.in
Address: 203.195.198.244

*** 203-195-198-244.now-india.net.in can't find india.cymfony.com: Server fail

But with address is working


This is showing that your DNS server is called 203-195-198-244.now-india.net.in and has and IP address of 203.195.198.244.

The "*** 203-195-198-244.now-india.net.in can't find india.cymfony.com: Server fail " error means your DNS server does not have an entry for india.cymfony.com and cannot find an entry for it on any other reference server is have available to it.

Your second nslookup command:

D:\>nslookup 203.195.198.244
Server: 203-195-198-244.now-india.net.in
Address: 203.195.198.244

Name: 203-195-198-244.now-india.net.in
Address: 203.195.198.244

You are looking up the name of your DNS server with this command, not india.cymfony.com which is what I think you meant to do. The IP for your DNS server is 203.195.198.244 . When you run nslookup 203.195.198.244 is is just going to give you the name of your DNS server.

You or someone else need to add an entry for india.cymfony.com to your DNS server.
