Ah that makes sense. I did something similar last month with a .co.uk transfer. Took me two days to figure out the Nominet side needed the glue update separately. Is that the same for .com with Verisign or do registrars handle it automatically now?
Member
No no no this is still manual at registry level for many tlds!! Some registrars have nice checkbox "update glue" but behind scenes is same call to registry. Verisign, Nominet, DENIC all want explicit glue if your ns is inside the zone itself. Common mistake. I have seen people wait 48 hours for propagation when glue was wrong whole time.
This is why I run my own monitoring. If I change DNS I watch the TTLs and query from six locations. "Propagation" is usually just "your old record is cached and you didn't check." Vultr's Madrid DC is handy for EU-side validation.

Amsterdam is closer to me in Utrecht but Madrid's fine for redundancy. What I actually want to know: has anyone here pushed Vultr's block storage hard enough to hit the IOPS wall? Their NVMe local is fine but the networked stuff feels oversold in Frankfurt. Not a support issue, just curious if my experience matches.
I run a small CI farm on Ampere in Seoul and the block storage there is consistent enough. Not amazing, not terrible. The local NVMe is where the ARM boxes shine anyway. I wouldn't put a database on networked storage regardless of provider.

Going back to this—my last ticket with another provider took 6 hours for "we are investigating" and then 2 days for "please reboot." 14 minutes with actual troubleshooting steps is better than most of the industry. I don't care about speed if it's copy-paste but Ana's first response had dig commands in it. That's useful.
This is why I run unbound locally and don't trust provider resolvers for anything. Vultr's are fine for bootstrapping but I point everything at my own recursive setup. Less metadata leakage that way. Not that I think Vultr sells it, but principle is principle.
This.
Also Dave your sublist numbering was broken in the original post
Fixed that for you. You're welcome.
Member OP
I was on mobile and the comma key was getting more action than the period key ok leave me alone
Also yeah I run unbound now too after Ana explained the difference. Baby steps.

Salam kenal all. This thread made me check my own glue records. Found two domains with stale data. Fixed before customer complaint, so thank you Ana and dave39 for the reminder. Vultr support has been good to me in Singapore DC also, though never this detailed. Usually "check your firewall" which is fair, I forget ufw exists.
