I can't get an MX record for kohinoorfoods.co.uk from multiple VMs
on BitFolk's network, but the lack of answer is coming from what is
supposed to be their authoritative nameservers:
$ dig +short -t mx kohinoorfoods.co.uk @ns1.csiplhosting.com
$ dig +short -t mx kohinoorfoods.co.uk @ns2.csiplhosting.com
$
On further investigation, the IP addresses I am seeing for
ns{1,2}.csiplhosting.com are different to those that other sites are
seeing:
$ dig +short -t a ns1.csiplhosting.com
95.211.9.55
$ dig +short -t a ns2.csiplhosting.com
95.211.9.55
Other sites are seeing 66.228.127.200 and 66.228.127.201, which give correct answers:
$ dig +short -t mx kohinoorfoods.co.uk @66.228.127.200
10 a.mx.apm-internet.net.
20 b.mx.apm-internet.net.
Here's a squish.net traversal of how the A record for ns1.csiplhosting.com is being worked out:
http://dns.squish.net/traverses/26b4711e91bcb6a42cc7fd11b2759343/detail
From this I would suggest that csiplhosting.com have broken
something and soon most of the world is going to be getting
95.211.9.55 as the IP address of ns{1,2}.csiplhosting.com.
Cheers,
Andy
