Hi,

Welcome everyone. I have a problem with bullet prof Godaddy support 
which is unable to figure out where the problem is... Of course they 
blame me but maybe some one be so kind and look into this because it's 
all their fault.


     Few of our clients using Godaddy. To setup their domains in our 
product they have to set up their DNS server to our DNS server which is:
a.ns.domadd.getresponse.com
b.ns.domadd.getresponse.com

    The check why it's not working I setup one of our domain:
PRACA-PROGRAMISTA-PHP-MYSQL-PERL-JAVA.COM. (I should use shorter but it 
will do). I've setup nameserver for that doamin to:
a.ns.domadd.getresponse.com (207.8.198.88)
b.ns.domadd.getresponse.com (89.206.36.202)
(Address for this servers has not been change since almost 1 year)

Let's now check why it's not working:
# dig PRACA-PROGRAMISTA-PHP-MYSQL-PERL-JAVA.COM @k.gtld-servers.net
; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> PRACA-PROGRAMISTA-PHP-MYSQL-PERL-JAVA.COM 
@k.gtld-servers.net
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

a.ns.domadd.getresponse.COM.
PRACA-PROGRAMISTA-PHP-MYSQL-PERL-JAVA.COM. 172800 IN NS 
b.ns.domadd.getresponse.COM.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
a.ns.domadd.getresponse.COM. 172800 IN  A       207.8.198.52
b.ns.domadd.getresponse.COM. 172800 IN  A       207.8.198.54



Questions:
1) Why they put bad IP address in .COM zone (bad IP for GLUE records)
Before you tell me change this address unfortunately there is no way to 
change this in godaddy panel (If I want to set GLUE records they 
obviously must be in domain: PRACA-PROGRAMISTA-PHP-MYSQL-PERL-JAVA.COM 
which is not a case here.
2) If you tell me I'm wrong please prove it




Thanks,
