Registering a Slovenian (.si) domain name

When setting up a Slovenian (.si) domain name, you can check the DNS setup with this tool on
zrd.arnes.si/dnstool/index-en.html , the slovenian NIC.

When working correctly, the results should be:

DNS PREDELEGATION PROCEDURE:


-------------------------
Automatically is being checked:

  • domain name registration
  • number of NS records
  • values in SOA record
  • consistency of SOA and NS records
  • authority of given nameservers
  • activity of email address in SOA record



DNS checking is based on following standards and recommendations:



Lines in report that start with:


  • OK: are messages about successful tests
  • INFO: are informative messages
  • WARN: are messages about potentially problematic settings
  • ERROR: are error messages



ERROR: line is usually followed by a group of INFO: lines that describe possible reasons for errors.



Note: Messages describing errors can be repeated in predelegation process
if checkings are performed in different phases of the process.



If you notice domain name repeatedly in error messages, for example:


INFO: Primary MX record for domain.si: 10 mail.domain.si.domain.si


this means you forgot to put an '.' at the end of the record, which results in default addition of local domain.



Whole procedure and possible error reasons can be found below.

For additional information about domain delegation, please contact your registrar.

xxx.si. 86400 IN NS ns1.xxx.com.

OK: NS records are OK


INFO: Checking values in SOA record

INFO: Primary nameserver change ns3.xxx.net -> ns1.xxx.net
