I am trying to troubleshoot a DNS issue I am currently having with a new project host on an AWS EC2 instance. It is a brand new domain, and I have already updated the nameservers on the registrar side.
It's been a couple days so the new records have propagated. Upon dig
ging, I have verified the NS records are being correctly pointed to:

creativealchemyhealing.com. 172800 IN NS ns-640.awsdns-16.net.
creativealchemyhealing.com. 172800 IN NS ns-1551.awsdns-01.co.uk.
NS Records Good. So next i went to verify the A record that I set up in the AWS Hosted Zone is querying correctly to the elastic IP of my EC2 instance:
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;creativealchemyhealing.com. IN A
;; ANSWER SECTION:
creativealchemyhealing.com. 300 IN A 54.183.25.131
A Record looks propagated. Excellent.
So then I checked the IP itself to see if that loaded... IP address loads fine: 54.183.25.131.
So why then does the actual domain not query properly? www.creativealchemyhealing.com
What am I missing? Is there a more effective solution to troubleshoot DNS issues other than using the dig
utility?

options may be helpful in case something is actually wrong with the delegation.dig
options you suggested, but I am unable to identify the syntax for using them. After looking through the help manual ondig
it appeared I should use the following syntax:dig www.creativealchemyhealing.com in NS +trace
, however its producing no output. Nor is+add
option, and I can't even find that one in theman
page. I've tried about 20 other syntax forms and none of them produce output either. Can you suggest the syntax you would use?dig www.creativealchemyhealing.com +trace +add
