Using whois to confirm glue records
Name service cannot possibly work without accurate glue records at your registrar.
These records provide the top-level domain name servers with the information they need to point clients to the right name server for any given second-level domain.
If these records are incorrect, nothing that requires a name lookup will work for your domain.
To check the glue records, use the whois command:
This will produce a bunch of information about your zone, but the important part is the name servers section, which will include two records of the form:
Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.serverbuddies.com 192.168.0.2
Other top-level domains, like .net and .org, or other country domains, may have slightly different wording or conventions for what information is provided, but there will always be a section for name servers.
If these are incorrect, you’ll need to update the information with your registrar.
