The ns[1-3].dynv6.com not always updated with my public IP address

[jocelyn.courcelles]

Hi,

My public IP address is not always updated on the ns1.dynv6.com, ns2.dynv6.com or ns3.dynv6.com server.

I use a bash script to notify my new public IP address using this command :

curl --silent --show-error --fail --max-time 30 https://ipv4.dynv6.com/api/update?hostname=MY_HOSTNAME&ipv4=auto&token=MY_TOKEN

I wait 7 seconds before checking if DNS updated with my new public IP address using these commands :

dig ns1.dynv6.com -4 +short HOSTNAME
This command repeat for ns2 and ns3 server.

Sometime one of the ns[1-3].dynv6.com keep my old IP address.

Is something wrong with my curl command?

Thanks for help
Jocelyn

More information about the problem.
I use the curl command you suggest in the https://dynv6.com/docs/apis page ( Use our update script - https://gist.github.com/corny/7a07f5ac901844bd20c9) and I could reproduce the issue.

Sometime not all your ns*.dynv6.com are updated with my new public IP address. To be more clear, sometime it works (all ns*.dynv6.com are configure with my new public IP address) and sometime one of them keep my old IP address.

It is very strange because when the problem happen, I use the same command another time and the IP address are updated on all your ns*.dynv6.com server. If my command is bad, when the problem occur, why using the same command launch again, your dynv6 DNS is updated correctly?

Could you help me to solve this issue?

Add more information

Can someone could explain to me why not all dynv6 DNS server have update my new public IP address after using the dynv6 update API?
The answer receive after using the update API is “addresses updated” but, when I look what is configured in dynv6 DNS server ns3.dynv6.com was keeping my old IP address.

Here my log:

my_web_site : IP address change to 72.10.146.158 — addresses updated

ns1.dynv6.com : my_web_site => 72.10.146.158
ns2.dynv6.com : my_web_site => 72.10.146.158
ns3.dynv6.com : my_web_site => 66.158.159.238

Many peoples reported same issue. This problem was reported for the first time on September 20 2020.

Is ns3 working at the moment?

Hi, I’m having some problems accessing my server, and it seems that, using both an online tool and nslookup to look up my domain, this is successful for ns{1,2}.dynv6.com, but the third nameserver is returning a different result to the other two. It seems that getting just the address of the zone is fine, but I have a wildcard rule forwarding all subdonains to the canonical name, and this is returning “record not found” on the third nameserver, but not the other two. Is there anything going o…

IP in account does not match IP in DNS?

Thanks for the info; I’m looking forward to the fix. The same error happened again this morning, so the problem seems to occur about once every two-and-a-half weeks for me at the moment. This is a really annoying bug because you can only fix it by logging into the web interface and re-applying the same data already listed there - something which I cannot easily automate.

Update successful but IP-Address not updated

Hi, since a few hours a have a problem with updating my dynv6 domain. I have a OpenWRT router here which is working fine now for a long time. Here comes the log from the router side: https://pastebin.com/aJ1Jfz4R My account information still tells me the old address. Is it just a thing of patience or is here something wrong? Thanks in advance! Best

To help other people that have the same issue.

When you update IP address using dynv6 API.
Wait few seconds (delay)
Verify that ns1.dynv6.com and ns2.dynv6.com and ns3.dynv6.com have your new IP address.
If not, update IP address using dynv6 API by sending IP address=127.0.0.1
Wait few seconds (delay)
Update again with your public IP address

To dynv6 admin people, I appreciate the time and effort you put in your project.
Could you give us status for this bug.

Thanks
