On being a webmaster: An update

ARGH! Why can't I get this foreskin restoration website working?I went to bed last night (actually, early this morning) with high hopes that the DNS would finish propagating and RestoringForeskin.org would be accessible to all. Sadly, I woke to a continued mess.

After more looking and reading and examining and experimenting and checking and pulling my hair out, I discovered a typo in the nameserver DNS zone record. The IP address for ns2.tnameserver.info had one digit off.

Happy camper with a working foreskin restoration websiteI corrected the typo and within minutes I noticed a difference. Checking the name servers, I saw that they started reporting the correct address for the site. Traffic to the site grew to normal levels within an hour. This is how I remember DNS propagation working.

I am a happy camper, again.

My first problem was not correctly adding a DNS A record to the name server domain. My second problem, which I just discovered earlier today, was a typo in the newly added A record in the DNS Zone for the secondary nameserver.
