When I clicked on that link the only error was an MNAME error. Did you see another error? (I wonder if it was a transient error you observed, because it appears different to yours). The error according to the report (run against isc.org):
"ERROR: Your SOA (Start of Authority) record states that your master (primary) name server is: ns-int.isc.org. That server is not listed at the parent servers, which is not correct." $ dig soa isc.org +short ns-int.isc.org. hostmaster.isc.org. 2009042800 7200 3600 24796800 3600 $ dig ns isc.org +short ord.sns-pb.isc.org. sfba.sns-pb.isc.org. ns-ext.nrt1.isc.org. ams.sns-pb.isc.org. So the report states that the MNAME is not one of the listed name servers. This appears to be true. Checking your domain: newgeo.com (did you mean this one or another?). The error is a different one. Your name servers: $ dig ns newgeo.com +short ns1.nacio.com. ns1.hostwizard.com. Now the report wants to check each name server: $ dig ns1.hostwizard.com @ns1.nacio.com +short 64.84.37.14 That worked. $ dig ns1.nacio.com @ns1.hostwizard.com ; <<>> DiG 9.4.2-P2 <<>> ns1.nacio.com @ns1.hostwizard.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: REFUSED, id: 24774 ;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;ns1.nacio.com.
