A while back I registered a domain for a non-profit group I work with. For simplicity's sake, I'll call the domain (mydomain).org.
I've used them for a few years and have about 10-20 domains registered through them, and never had any problems.
One of the guys at the non-profit has setup and hosted a website that we are going to use for this domain. He's created the website and provided me with the DNS entries to use to point this domain name.
ns1.(mydomain).org
ns2.(mydomain).org
Those aren't working for me. Each time I try to update the primary and secondary name server information with the registrar I get the following error:
"An internal error has occurred on the domain (mydomain).org please try your request again later. Fail: 541 - The following nameserver ns1.(mydomain).org does not exist at the registry"
At first I assumed it was a propegation timing thing, but 3 days later, I'm getting the same error.
My current thought is that it seems strange to me for him to provide me with DNS server address that includes the very domain name that I'm trying to setup the DNS settings for. I've proposed this to him, and he's certain that these are the proper DNS addresses to provide me.
But I've never used the domain name the same DNS host before. It's always something like:
ns1.(webhostprovidersDNSdomain).com
ns2.(webhostprovidersDNSdomain).com
It seems like using the domain name as the DNS settings would create a catch 22 that would cause an error like this.
