Background: I've setup a site on Squarespace, got a domain on domain.com, used domain.com's DNS manager to create CNAME for squarespace (like they recommend).

I changed the nameservers yesterday to slicehost (a failed experiment) and back to domain.com's tonight. Now when I run a dig, I get the following:

; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> veganhopeworkshop.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 54930
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;veganhopeworkshop.com.         IN      A

;; WHEN: Tue Jun 15 23:23:02 2010
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 39

Does the "status: SERVFAIL" indicate anything wrong about my configuration?

+1  A: 

At the time of writing (09:30 GMT on 16th June) none of the three name servers at domain.com (ns1, ns2 and ns3.domain.com) are correctly serving your zone.

% dig +norec @ns3.domain.com. veganhopeworkshop.com ns

; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> +norec @ns3.domain.com. veganhopeworkshop.com ns
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

;; QUESTION SECTION:

...

So, in the first instance, you need to talk to them to find out why not.

Thanks. For domain.com there are two sets of name servers. One for their internal hosting (ns1.domain.com) and another set for external hosting. I had the wrong ones specified.
