Sn1F3rt Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hey there, I would like to know that in the DNS cluster, which nameserver runs Johnny. This is because in FreeDNS we can set only one nameserver. For my domain it's presently set to ns1. My site generates an IP address not found error so I assume that's on Eddie. Could you please confirm if I should change it to ns2? (This is because FreeDNS malfunctions if I change the nameservers multiple times, so I don't want to experiment by changing it over and over again, and see if my site works.) Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolstech Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 All DNS records can be served by any name server, so yeah, just move to NS2. Also, you've apparently learned why I hate FreeDNS...it's buggy and doesn't support multiple name servers. Their system is probably one of the few we hear a lot about when it comes to DNS issues. I'd suggest finding alternative DNS service if you can. CF does a decent job if you just use the DNS features (the caching and stuff works too, but there's some extra setup and considerations to keep in mind when you use those features here). Of course, the best choice is to just use our NS directly without a middleman, but we know that's not an option for everybody. CF is usually our recommendation when alternate DNS is desired, we've all used it at some point and the server can export the records directly to it with the plugin.

Sn1F3rt Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Yeah that's something which bothers me too... The fact that it doesn't support multiple nameservers. However, personally I don't like Cloudflare (there are certain reasons which I don't wanna post publicly). I will change my nameservers as soon as I have access to my PC. My problem is solved so you kindly mark this as 'answered'. Thanks a lot. EDIT: Although the FreeDNS web interface is hard to work with on mobile (because of the desktop version only), somehow managed to change the nameservers. My site is up and working again.
