DNS Issues

    I'm currently migrating from a Linux server to a Windows server and am having some DNS issues.

    Websites are functioning correctly, but MX Toolbox is reporting the following issues:

    NS1:
    NS2:
    I thought this may have been something like the name servers are pointing to the same IP address but looking at the NS sections of DNS template:
    server.selfselectdistribution.co is not an active domain, does it need to be?

    Lookup for: weeklyindependents.co.uk which is hosted on the server:
    Any ideas?

    It is resolving locally you can see for yourself at www.selfselectdistribution.co

    Here is the DNS template for selfselectdistribution.co
    Is this the problem: ipv4.selfselectdistribution.co. A 213.171.205.235

    This is the default DNS template zone:

    Thanks for your help

    Getting below error in browser

    Description: Unable to locate the server named "www.selfselectdistribution.co" --- the server does not have a DNS entry. Perhaps there is a misspelling in the server name, or the server no longer exists. Double-check the name and try again.

    Can you check the error log file in your webserver?

    Also let me know is your DNS entry is updated properly...

    The server is not called www.selfselectdistribution.co the server is called "server.selfselectdistribution.co"

    Which log file would you like me to check?

    As far as I can tell the DNS entry is updated, I added the domain "weeklyindependents.co.uk" after configuring the DNS Template and, well as I mentioned although it loads correctly something is wrong with the nameservers.

    The domain server weeklyindependents.co.uk resolving properly in my end....

    verify the named.log file for checking the issue related to name server.

    I don't understand what the problem is.

    ns1.server.selfselectdistribution.co -> 213.171.205.235
    ns2.server.selfselectdistribution.co -> 213.171.206.56

    Why would there be a loop?

    So it's not resolving the IP addresses. Would this have anything to do with it trying to resolve 2 different IP addresses from 1 URL? Do the name servers need to be different domains on different IP addresses?

    I set the subdomain up server.selfselectdistribution.co and it all seems to be resolving correctly. It must have been looking for server.sel... and couldn't find it which possibly caused it to loop.
