How do I forward .DE to Sedo DNS

[chaumi]

Hi

Hope this is in the right place

I have a bumber of .de names registered with Network Solutions, for which I've been unable to change the DNS settings to point to sedo. Each time I perform the transaction it appears to be accepted by Network Solutions, but immediately reverts to the original settings (or just doesn't actually take).

Can anyone help. I've put in multiple service requests to both sedo and Network Solutions , but it has not yet been solved.

NS advise me that they believe the problem is at the Sedo end and have come back with the following reason.....

'The reason your modification has failed is because the new nameservers have not been configured to be authoritative for the domain, the value settings are not consistent with .DE's restrictions. These need to be addressed before your next DNS mod request.

These are the set .DE Registry Requirements for any domain registrations or modifications:

Minimum Hosts Required: 2
Maximum Hosts Required: 5
Hosts required on separate Class C Networks
Park Domain (not delegated to any Hosts)
Zone Serial Number is identical on each Host
Refresh Value: 10000 – 86400
Retry Value: 1800 – 28800
Expire Value: 604800 – 360000
Min TTL Value: 180 – 345600
Zone NS Records correspond to Hosts submitted to NIC
MX Record Required (must resolve and mail server accessible)

If you are using an ISP, please provide them with this information'



Unfortunately this doesn't mean much to me, and sending this info to Sedo hasn't got me anywhere.

Any advice gratefully received.

Of course, that should read 'number'...not 'bumber'

sedo's nameservers worked for me (at eNom).
You can also run some checks with their name servers here: http://zonecheck.denic.de/zonecheck/
If this works, it means that the problem is probably at netsol.

I believe the problem is with the DENIC's rule that in .de domains nameservers will be in the different subsets.

If you have NSs like 66.21.124.54 and 66.21.124.56 then .de does not work.

Hope this helps

I have a .de at GoDaddy.. It rejected the sedo nameservers at first, but after 3 or 4 attempts it worked. Keep trying. I don't think its sedo, it has to be something with network solutions.
