Hi,
I've got bind9 running with about 30 domains. Now sometimes it seems 
fine but sometimes i can't access my domains from my location but i can 
if i go here,
http://www.dapyxis.com/support/ping.php
If i do a ping test there it works all the time but i can't access my 
domains from my home machine. The only way i can do it is to change the 
nameservers it uses when it connects to the net. If i change the 
nameservers to the ip address of my server machine i can then access the 
domains. One in particular is onebm.com. I've setup smtp with sendmail 
and if i use smtp.onebm.com with the normal nameservers of the isp it 
doesn't work but if i change them to my machine it works. This is the 
same with all my domains it's not just the smtp if i use www.onebm.com 
it still doesn't work. If i do a dnsreport
http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=onebm.com
Everything seems ok apart from a couple of warns but sometimes i do a 
dns report and it can't connect to the domain.

I've also setup nameservers for onebm.com. ns1.onebm.com and 
ns2.onebm.com. Now after pointing a load of domains at the those 
nameservers some work all the time some work sometimes and some couldn't 
validate the ip address of the nameserver change.

It seems unreliable so what is going on here. I'm on a servermatrix 
dedicated server and when i use there nameservers everything is fine.

Any ideas

Thanks

Gary
