dig name.server.hostname RemoveThis @a.gtld-servers.net

Replace a with b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j as needed...

a through (I think) j are the root nameservers.

Thats weird. From my server in Texas it looks like yours. From Australia it
finds nothing. Maybe theres a propagation issue.

Doesnt appear to give any IPs (run from a server in Texas):


[root@li-79 root]# dig NS1.CAPRIOLEPARK.COM RemoveThis @a.gtld-servers.net

Duh. That's because I gave you the wrong command.

dig ns domain.tld.TakeThisOut@a.gtld-servers.net

replacing a with the letter of whichever root nameserver you wish to check. I'm
not sure if there are 10 or 12, it's either a-j or a-l.

Note that the root nameserver TTLs will probably not match what you have set on
your own nameservers (and that's OK).

I'm sorry, Gregory. It's late and I'm tired.

The domain has finally resolved and after 8 hours fiddling around with
config files I'm a bind expert!
