Update Your Nameservers [come back to later]

[Michael Hodge]

You all should update your nameservers to redirect any web requests to "e-budo.com" to "www.e-budo.com". This is standard web practice. As it is now, if visitors don't include the preceding "www", it won't resolve to anything.

To clarify things here, I'm not asking for help -- I'm offering you technical advice because the nameserver configuration for e-budo.com is incomplete.

I'm using Opera, but this isn't a browser issue. E-budo.com doesn't have a CNAME entry in its nameserver that resolves to the alternate "www.e-budo.com" when used as a web address. When I referred to "you all" in my previous message I meant "e-budo.com administrators."

Enter e-budo.com into your browser and you'll see. Make sure the browser doesn't prepend the "www."

Here's an example:

-bash-3.00$ host lod.com
lod.com has address 199.120.223.1

-bash-3.00$ host www.lod.com
www.lod.com is an alias for lod.com.
lod.com has address 199.120.223.1

Sorry,

I don't touch anything on the nameserver. Right now the Admin is in Iraq.

Shall I give up? :)

For now you should, until John Lindsey comes back from Iraq.

Must be you as it works fine for me. Even cleared all cache and cookies and tried it with IE and Firefox.

e-budo.com and e-budo.com/forum resolves just fine.

e-budo.com and e-budo.com/forum resolves just fine.

Ponder over the following and tell me I'm hallucinating again. The facts are clear. :)

-bash-3.00$ host -t ns e-budo.com
e-budo.com name server NS2.redanvil.net.
e-budo.com name server NS1.redanvil.net.


-bash-3.00$ nslookup e-budo.com ns1.redanvil.net
Server: ns1.redanvil.net
Address: 204.11.208.15#53

*** Can't find e-budo.com: No answer


-bash-3.00$ nslookup e-budo.com ns2.redanvil.net
Server: ns2.redanvil.net
Address: 204.11.208.25#53

*** Can't find e-budo.com: No answer

-bash-3.00$ nslookup www.e-budo.com ns1.redanvil.net
Server: ns1.redanvil.net
Address: 204.11.208.15#53

Name: www.e-budo.com
Address: 204.11.208.4

-bash-3.00$ nslookup 204.11.208.4 ns1.redanvil.net
Server: ns1.redanvil.net
Address: 204.11.208.15#53

4.208.11.204.in-addr.arpa name = web1.redanvil.net.
