You could try asking nicely instead of demanding? Or at least get a team membership before ordering people around?

www.ar15.com is a CNAME for ar15.com
www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=www.ar15.com&type=CNAME Looks like you need to clean out temp files. |

Use your hosts file on your computer then you dont need dns to look it up, as long as the ip address doesnt change.

The same thing happened to me a while ago with the ar15.com domain name. Jobrelatedstuff.com just started doing the same thing about a week ago, so it's not just him.

I've been getting random DNS erorrs on this site for about a month. I kept asking about in the Team forum and no one else chimed in, so I figured nobody else was noticing it yet.
Now I am getting them more and more frequently. I get NO DNS ERRORS on any other site. None. At all. I had one of my computer nerds here surf the site, and he says that it looks like one of the secondary servers, like a photo host, or ad host, or something is causing page load timeouts and DNS errors. He said it looked "load" related. When user levels got to 6000+++ they started happening more frequently. FWIW.... |

I have had the exact same issue for months. If I reload the page, I can usually bring it up...sometimes I need to refresh twice. Never happens on any other sites....just this one. I gave up trying to figure out since I am convinced the problem isnt on this end. (unless my old PC is just too slow to keep up any more) |

Don't be assholes guys, you computer guys know exactly wtf I'm talking about.
An http record(pointer, whatever) would be the pointer in your domain name space that tells an http request within the ar15.com domain where to go. In this case it seems to be pointing to the "repair" page which tells me that the cost value in the HTTP record is incorrect, at least this is my guess. Hitting "reload" while on that repair page did in fact bring the home page up so thanks for that tip. Very strange though. |

I will give you another possibility. An upstream DNS server is misconfigured to keep overly old cached DNS records. OR the DNS serial number was not properly incremented. That is, if DNS needs changed AT ALL to redirect to a maint. page, which I dont see why DNS would need changed at all. It would be a simple webserver config change to bring up the maint. page instead of the regular site.

My point is you have to point http or www to an IP within your domain name.
From what I'm being told here, what I'm saying doesn't exist even though I call my cusotmers ISP's all the time to update those records if we move websites to new locations what not but I'm assume I'm able to do that because those are A records? BTW, http://ar15.com is working everytime now all because I hit "refresh page" once while on that repair page. |

HTTP is protocol for comminucation to and from an IP address, traditionaly on TCP port 80. If you have a domain name and no IP address, you look up the domain name's DNS A record to get the IP address. |

(rough) Definitions
Continued: TXT: Just information or text for a hostname A6/AAAA: hostname to IPv6 map HINFO: host info (os, hardware) There are a few others but they arent used much or are obselete. No http records though. Closest thing might be an SRV record. -Foxxz |

OK I get it now. thx guys.
The whole time I've been calling the http and www entries "records" when the exact term would have been cname. What's funny is I've always called them records and not one person at any ISP has ever corrected me and they always knew what I was talking. In the end I started to get mad with you guys cause you know wtf I'm talking about but since it is the internet I understand that 75% of the people on the web live to correct the next guy but I'm happy it worked out that way this time. I was able to learn something from it.  THX again. |

I don't know if it is related to this issue or not, but I encounter delays 2 out of every 3 times (on average) I try to refresh a page or open a new thread. At first I tried waiting it out, but I eventually get a timeout message. So now I stop the page load after a few seconds and try again. It usually works by the 3rd retry. This has been happening for over a month now. The status indicator on the bottom left of my Firefox screen says "waiting for ar15.com" so I don't think it is a DNS issue or I would be getting a "looking for ar15.com" message.
This is happening on all three computers in my house, and it is only happening with Arfcom. Anyone else having this same problem? |

Well, not quite. Close though. "http" is only a record if somebody actually creates one, i.e. http.ar15.com (nearly unheard of). "www" might be an A record, or it could be a CNAME. The two are not interchangable. Not everybody uses CNAME records.

AHHHH I get it. I understand that if I create a "record" (actually called an A record)it's part of the domain as a prefix, I.E. www.ar15.com or mail.ar15.com but where does the http:// fit into all of this then? THX alot btw fellows Also to brush up, a cname is a alias that points to an orgin? So instead of creating an A record for www, I could just create a cname that points to the respective loation? |

It doesn't fit anywhere into DNS. That's the point several people have been trying to make. DNS only deals with domain names and host names. That's the part between the // and the first /. When talking about DNS issues, if you mention the word URL, browser, or http://, then it usually means you're not talking about a DNS issue but instead a problem with your browser.z |
