[AusNOG] China issue

Thu Jul 31 09:06:28 EST 2014

Fyi,

Into dns is an awesome tool for this type of stuff:

Http://Intodns.com<http://Intodns.com>/http://standoutgroup.com.cn<<a%20href=>/">standoutgroup.com.cn<http://standoutgroup.com.cn>

I never make dns changes without retesting with that to be certain :-)

Cheers,
Ayden

Hi James,

No you don't need to be slapped around.

The name servers should be dragon.minopher.net.au and ns1.telstra.net so that gives me a line to follow up, thank you. I'm thinking the register that I secured the domain through hasn't updated the name servers.

As another option, I'm getting weird issues resolving that domain - are the nameservers new? The registration date on the domain's 11/13, so it's not exactly new.

$ whois standoutgroup.com.cn<http://standoutgroup.com.cn>
Domain Name: standoutgroup.com.cn<http://standoutgroup.com.cn>
[snip]
Name Server: ns1.onlydomains.com<http://ns1.onlydomains.com>
Name Server: ns2.onlydomains.com<http://ns2.onlydomains.com>
Name Server: ns3.onlydomains.com<http://ns3.onlydomains.com>

Querying your nameservers directly doesn't seem to be responding, and google's stumped.

$ nslookup standoutgroup.com.cn<http://standoutgroup.com.cn> ns1.onlydomains.com<http://ns1.onlydomains.com>
Server: ns1.onlydomains.com<http://ns1.onlydomains.com>
Address: 199.192.75.20#53
Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find standoutgroup.com.cn<http://standoutgroup.com.cn>: No answer
$ nslookup standoutgroup.com.cn<http://standoutgroup.com.cn> 8.8.8.8
> standoutgroup.com.cn<http://standoutgroup.com.cn>
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53
Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find standoutgroup.com.cn<http://standoutgroup.com.cn>: No answer

Dig responses for MX records are not responding with answers either, and MX toolbox gives a non-response - http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=mx%3astandoutgroup.com.cn&run=toolpage

Then again, standoutgroup.cn<http://standoutgroup.cn> seems to be all configured right....?

Happy to be slapped around for entirely missing the point, I'm really quite tired.

James

Hi all,

This maybe a Chinese firewall/DSN issue but hoping someone has come across it or a work around.

We have a client that has purchased several .cn  domains but wants to run the mail server locally in Aus. As far as I can tell if your not in China you can send email to the domain and they can send out. But the local rep in China claims Chinese domains can't see or find the domain. Throwing up a name server error – not found.

I.e standoutgroup.com.cn<http://standoutgroup.com.cn> is set up on a Aus machine, most of the world can send/receive emails to the domain/end user, but any email originating in China returns a DNS error.

Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated either on or off list.
