google dns server not able to resolve libcollage.net but elsewhere can

[pro...@gmail.com]

Hi 

I've found out that google name server does not resolve domain libcollage.net but elsewhere can.

Here is the record of the command dig using google name server:

dig @8.8.8.8 libcollage.net  

; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> @8.8.8.8 libcollage.net

; (1 server found)

;; global options: +cmd

;; Got answer:

here is the output of dig when using elsewhere nameserver:

https://dns.google.com/query?name=libcollage.net says "Resolution failure. Please check https://intodns.com/libcollage.net"

and https://intodns.com/libcollage.net says

"ERROR: Some of your DNS servers do not have A records at all. I could not find any A records for the following DNS servers:

ns1.2-hosts.com
ns2.2-hosts.com
ns3.2-hosts.com
ns4.2-hosts.com

You must have A records for all of your nameservers."

In fact, none of the name server names for libcollage.net resolve for IPv4 A(ddress) or IPv6 AAAA records.

https://intodns.com/2-hosts.com shows more problems there, apparently those name servers do not serve their own names properly. Any resolvers that resolve libcollage.net at all are using the glue records for the ns[1-4].2-hosts.com records in the .COM zone, but Google Public DNS will only use those to get the authoritative answers from those nameservers themselves, and since they don't do so, the domains that they serve are broken.

TL;DR – fix the 2-hosts.com zone being served by your name servers, and the other zones they serve should start working.
