Abel,

While on the dns subject, I also noticed another related issue which is somewhat critical given the situation... there are no glue records for the domain, and both NS records are pointed at the subdomains of it self (ns1.texasphotoforum.com and ns2.texasphotoforum.com)...

If both nameservers goes out for long enough, no outside dns server will know which how to resolve ns1.texasphotoforum.com or ns1.texasphotoforum.com (even if your either of them are back online again at this point) since there are no glue records to bootstrap the process.... Considering that the entire thing is running on only one nameserver at the moment, I think this is a bad situation to be in.

Solution: Add glue records (but irrc godaddy doesn't support them), or use an additional nameserver which is outside of your domain.

edit: sorry, name fixed :)

I don't know if it bothers Abel but you guys are mispelling his name. On another note I can rarely access it from my home ISP.

I don't get it... why are people posting their status and their isp/connection when it's a server side issue.
