Cloud DNS -- Two Domains -- one works, the other is returning REFUSED

[anonymous]

Greetings,

I have two domains configured within the same project of GCP, the domains are:

CollegeBus.org

collegebus.net

I have them both configured with a single A record for the domains, with MX setup to GSuite. Very straight forward.

When querying the domain directly on the Google DNS servers:
NS-CLOUD-C1.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM
NS-CLOUD-C2.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM
NS-CLOUD-C3.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM
NS-CLOUD-C4.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM

The first domain is working correctly:

nslookup

server NS-CLOUD-C1.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM

collegebug.org.
Server: NS-CLOUD-C1.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM
Address: 216.239.32.108#53
Name: collegebus.org
Address: 34.68.234.4

The second domain is not working correctly:

collegebus.net.
Server: NS-CLOUD-C1.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM
Address: 216.239.32.108#53
** server can’t find collegebus.net: REFUSED

They are both setup correctly within the GCP console, I’ve tried to delete the second domain and re-add it to no avail. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to keep this as simple as possible, I don’t have DNSSEC enabled or anything else that would prevent the DNS from functioning.

Thank you,
Charles

I just added a third domain (cyo.events.) to the Cloud DNS function.

When querying the Google DNS servers, I’m getting refused for this domain as well.

cyo.events.
Server: NS-CLOUD-C1.GOOGLEDOMAINS.COM
Address: 216.239.32.108#53

** server can’t find cyo.events: REFUSED

Here is a screenshot of the Cloud DNS zone overview.

And here is the specifics of the zone, which just has the SOA, NS and A record for the domain.

Any thoughts? This should be as simple as it can get.

Hey @charlesg - Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

Can you please confirm the name servers that we assigned to collegebus.net and cyo.events, by taking a look at the NS record for each domain on the console?

I see you have delegated all three domains to the same set of name servers. Although it’s not uncommon for Cloud DNS to assign the same set of name servers to all your domains, this isn’t always the case so it’s worth checking this out first. For example:

You are right, It’s minor but I missed that. The second domain was provided with:

• ns-cloud-d1.googledomains.com.

• ns-cloud-d2.googledomains.com.

• ns-cloud-d3.googledomains.com.

• ns-cloud-d4.googledomains.com.

  Silly of me to believe that Google would use the same NS for the domains. Thank you for pointing this out!
