Domain Delegation isn't working

  • 772

I made the mistake of registering a domain with Arvixe. The domain name is artofshell.com, and I'm trying to delegate this domain over to Microsoft Azure's DNS service.

  1. I created a DNS Zone in Azure, and set up several record sets
  2. I verified, using PowerShell's Resolve-DnsName command, that the DNS servers are responding properly
  3. I set up four (NS) records on Arvixe to point to the Azure DNS servers
  4. DNS resolution against the records in Azure DNS fails

When I query for SOA records, I am seeing ns1.crowfoot.arvixe.com instead of the Azure DNS servers. Is that correct, or is something misconfigured on the Arvixe side? Whatever the case, they aren't routing traffic correctly.

    Your domain is configured to use those servers at the registrar level. You will need to modify the registrar settings to match your NS record changes in the zone file.

    The below answer comes from the TLD nameservers for .com, which is what matters most here.
