    NameServers not accessible

    Hi everybody
    I am facing a little problem with names servers. I have a VPS with Kloxo installed on it
    I have registered 2 name servers (i.e. ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com) past one month.
    These nameservers are not accessible yet. I have check the nameserver on internic site and they are registered with the correct IP. But if I access it online via Internet explorer or nslookup I get server not found. And if I put ip address in IE I get the default page of my server

    Anybody can suggest what could be wrong

    Regards
    Rizwan

    Do you control the name servers, or are they administered
    by someone else?

    I control the name servers
    Once nameservers registered with my registrar do I need to add the A Record entry of that nameserver on my server

    From the internet, can you ping the ip addresses of
    your name servers? Start nslookup with no command line arguments,
    and give it the command server <ip address of name server>
    Then type any domain you want to resolve. If it says there's no
    response from the server, it's probably not running or misconfigured.

    You need an A record for ns1 and ns2, as well as one for your web server,
    and any other host you want people to access by name.

    what is the output of
    dig @localhost ns1/2.domain.com

    do the dig from the server. If A record for the name servers are not added in the server, please add those.
