Missing Glue Record

Hi there. I am trying to point my domain registered at names.co.uk to my private nameservers. However the process fails with a message from names.co.uk telling me "Required parameter missing. V024 Missing Glue record for server ns1.mydomain.co.uk".

Pretty sure I have the correct settings in names.co.uk control panel (as below) with both ns1 & ns2 subdomains registered to the new IP's via A record:

DNS Settings:

Add/Modify DNS Zone: mydomain.co.uk

A, CNAME, AAAA, TXT and NS records
'Host Name' 'Type' 'Result'

ns1 A xx.xx.xx.11
ns2 A xx.xx.xx.22

Then added the name server addresses:

Change Nameservers:

Change Nameservers: mydomain.co.uk

Primary nameserver*

ns1.mydomain.co.uk

Secondary nameserver*

ns2.mydomain.co.uk

Domain/Service(s) : mydomain.co.uk
My dig produces:

dig mydomain.co.uk any @xx .xx.xx.11

As Patrick says, you need your registrar to put a glue record in place with your nameserver subdomains and IP addresses. I've been running a split horizon network like this for many years with my own master and backup nameservers only exposed though IPv6 and external backup DNS servers providing IPv4/6, with transfers from the master nameserver. I had to ask my registrar to use only the IPv6 addresses specifically because the web interface doesn't allow for it.

This allowed the the use of a dynamic external IPv4 address and a routed IPv6 /48 subnet from an IPv6 tunnel broker.

The problem is that your nameservers are in-bailiwick of your domain name: since you want mydomain.co.uk to use ns1.mydomain.co.uk and ns2.mydomain.co.uk as nameservers, to prevent a DNS resolution loop, you need to have them as glue records on registry nameservers which means you need to register first these nameservers at the registry with their IP addresses, and only after that you will be able to use them for your domain name.

You need to do that through your registrar, you either ask him to do it for you or they provide some kind of interface for you to do it.
