[isp-dns] Re: Domain not resolving properly via http?

That depends. The DNSreport site looks for problems with the domain, which may or may not be related to problems you are having.

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=www.truckalarm.com&type=A shows that www.truckalarm.com resolves to a CNAME that points to truckalarm.com, which has an A record of 66.227.7.121. That happens to be the same IP as one of your DNS servers. Is that the IP address of your web server?

Then you may want to consider outsourcing your DNS, if you don't already. If you are not running your own DNS, you should copy my post to whoever provides your DNS server.

Because you said that the error wasn't occurring with the other domains. If the other domains were set up in the same way, the same error would occur on those domains.

It's not the nameservers -- it's the "zone data". You've told the root servers one thing, and your zone says another thing. They really should match.

That's because they are different protocols. E-mail, for example, will look up the MX record, which is different than the A record.

The problem here seems to be with your web host -- www.truckalarm.com gets to their webserver, which is responding, but with just "<html>". It may simply be that you uploaded an index.html file that just says "<html>".
