missing stealth server

[Frank]

Hi,

I am configuring my DNS server and looking at dnsreport.com to verify that
it is configured correctly. It says: Missing (stealth) server, FAIL: You
have one or more missing (stealth) nameservers. The following nameserver(s)
are listed (at your nameservers) as nameservers for your domain, but are not
listed at the the parent nameservers (therefore, they may or may not get
used, depending on whether your DNS servers return them in the authority
section for other requests, per RFC2181 5.4.1). You need to make sure that
these stealth nameservers are working; if they are not responding, you may
have serious problems! The DNS Report will not query these servers, so you
need to be very careful that they are working properly.

mydomain.com.Note: I changed the name of the domain listed in the error.Can
anyone explain to me what does this message mean? I can ping my domain also
I can ping the my dns server. I also don't understand whythe error above
listed only FQDN and not the with the dns server (mydnsserver.mydomain.com)
Thanks.Frank

It means the NS record created by default using the DNS name of the machine
it is on, is not listed at the .com gTLD servers as a name server for your
domain.
If this is not an AD integrated zone, or it is not for an AD domain, you can
delete the bad NS record and change the Primary DNS server on the SOA tab.
However, if the zone is AD integrated, or if it is a zone for the AD domain,
DNS will create an NS record that will resolve to a local address. you can
delete it, but it WILL return. The only solution, move the zone to a DNS
server that does not host the AD zone, and don't make the zone AD
integrated.
