Hi Peter


I've setup DNS seeds myself a week ago, at testnet-seed.alexykot.me and
bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me, but there is a problem with DNS settings that we
with Andreas couldn't 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 testnet-seed.alexykot.me
dig @node.alexykot.me bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me

​But when I try nslookup testnet-seed.alexykot.me​ - it fails.
I guess the problem is in my DNS settings but I can't figure out what is it.

​S
o could you share
​how you configured
DNS
​ for your seed
​
to help me debug
​mine
?



Best regards,
Alex Kotenko
