Hmm, you might be right, as queries 
dig @node.alexykot.me testnet-seed.alexykot.me
​and 

​are giving different authority sections.

Hmm, but if I setup custom SOA record for it - it should work, right? 
What SOA name should it be actually, assuming that NS record for testnet-seed.alexykot.me is pointing at alexykot.me?

Hi Alex,

I think the problem is with my suggestion to use bind forwarding.. basically bind is stripping off the authorative answer bit in the reply.. this causes the recursor to go into a loop chasing the authority server which again returns a non-authoritve answer with itself as the authority again. I'm not sure if this can be fixed without hacking the bind src, so maybe it wasn't such a great suggestion in the first place. Basically I think if bind was returning authorative answers it would work, but I can't see any way to make that happen in the bind configuration.

Hi Peter

Ive setup DNS seeds myself a week ago, at testnet-seed.alexykot.me [6]
and bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me [7], but there is a problem with DNS
settings that we with Andreas couldnt sort out quickly.

The problem itself is that I can reach my nameserver and get dnsseed
response if I query it directly with
 dig @node.alexykot.me [8] testnet-seed.alexykot.me [9]

 dig @node.alexykot.me [10] bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me [11]

​But when I try nslookup testnet-seed.alexykot.me [12]​ - it
fails. 
I guess the problem is in my DNS settings but I cant figure out what
is it.

​S o could you share

 ​ for your seed
