I created a DNS entry for my domain, but when I query ns1.digitalocean.com directly, the query is refused. Why is that? dig @NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM a starchy.n64088.org. ; <<>> DiG 9.9.3-rl.13207.22-P2-RedHat-9.9.3-7.P2.fc18 <<>> @NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM a starchy.n64088.org. ; (1 server found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<

Hi!

From here it's not refusing:

; <<>> DiG 9.9.3-rpz2+rl.13214.22-P2-Ubuntu-1:9.9.3.dfsg.P2-4ubuntu1.1 <<>> @NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM a starchy.n64088.org.
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd

Can you post a screenshot of your DNS config in DigitalOcean's DNS Manager?
