internal ns sync, how long does it take?

[somereseller]

I found out that the unix servers are using dns.vortechhosting.com to find domain names.

How much time does it take to be in sync with ns.hsphere.cc,ns1.hsphere.cc and ns2.hsphere.cc? 4 hours?


I've noticed that there is also a Mr dns2. How much time does it take for dns to be in sync with dns2 (which appeared to be synced with hsphere.cc).


This caused me quite a lot of wasted time trying to figure why the webserver was not finding another domain name...

normally 24 hours, from my experiences

24 hours for the internal servers, when the external ones resolve within minutes?

I did some alias changes that were quickly pickup up by the entire world, but those internal servers.

I've always had good luck with internal changes - less then 3 hours typically, and usually much more quickly.

Probably in the worst case scenario, though, 24 hours is possible.

I did get a confirmation from Craig a few days ago that there was some issue with primary DNS not updating, so I had to delete a domain and re-ad it, in which case there were ready within an hour.

Thanks for the update jmbeach, primary is the problem here and I don't know how to tell the servers to check with the other one.

maybe you are a victim of the same issue, I cannot really tell. Best is to send a TT and ask that Craig look into it (mention that he noticed the issue with me before) - then maybe he can check it out for you.

I'm not sure how else to troubleshoot it.
