Hi all... first.. I'm SOO not a server tech. I'm using OS X server just to run Apache web server. I don't even use Mail services.
A few months ago certain web pages started failing to load.
(it used to work fine.. and nothing major had changed)
My best trouble shooting abilities seem to have tracked this down to the fact that DNS servers actual change their IP addresses sometimes and this happens every few years.
By changing some of my links from "kublacon.info" to the direct ip address, the failed pages started working again.
I'm totally open to hearing what else might be causing this, but as I understand it, there's a 'file' somewhere that the server uses to resolve DNS lookups... and that file probably needs to be updated.
Can anyone point me to the 'correct/new file" and how/where it is on the server that I can update it? Or... suggest other reasons this might be happening?
Thank you!
