nslookup DNS help

[XedDT]

Ok, I've moved two sites to a new host. Their default DNS setup is supposed to resolve thewebsite.com as well as www.thewebsite.com

The first website resolves site1.com and www.site1.com properly. The second website resolves site2.com correctly but not www.site2.com

I run nslookup and set the server to the company nameserver. I check site1.com and it resolves to the correct server ip. I check www.site1.com and it says alias and lists the same resolve to the correct server ip. I check site2.com and resolves to the correct server ip. I check www.site2.com and it DOESN'T say alias and instead of giving the correct server ip it gives 0.0.0.1

The DNS entries for site1 and site2 are exactly the same (except for the name of course) I even tried resaving the DNS entries for site2 just to see if it would set it properly, no luck. I resaved site1 and of course it's still fine.

Q: This isn't on my end right? This is something that they have to fix on the nameservers right? What can I do to resolve this?

Has anyone ever had this happen. HELP! The company that I did site2 for is getting pissed because the "www." resolve that everyone uses has been offline for 2 days now.

This is a nameserver problem. Whoever is hosting your DNS needs to fix this.

Thanks, that's what I figured.

What does everyone think of this solution?

I've created a zoneedit account for this domain and setup a simple webforward for site2.com and www.site2.com to go to the correct hostmachine/subdirectory and I cloaked it.

I've edited my nameserver listing at the registrar (Network Solutions) to have the zoneedit nameservers as ns1 and ns2 and I've moved the hosts nameservers to spots 3 and 4.

This way I "should" be able to get traffic routing correctly until the host is able to go in and manually fix the DNS entry that's resolving www.site2.com to 0.0.0.1.

Does this sound ok to everyone? Should it work?

I just set this up late last night so it hasn't propegated yet so I don't know if it actually works yet or not and how the DNS stuff works is new to me.
