Hi,

I have this strange BIND problem that I hope some of you can figure out.
We have a TLD who's delegating second level domains to another name
server. I then delegate tertiary domains to other name servers. For some
reason recently, all tertiary delegations don't seem to work. On some
networks like RR, digging the name sever produced good results while
others give a SRVFAIL error. This was working before and no work was done
on our name server to produce this problem.

For exmaple:


dig @ns2.lava.net www.crm.gov.mp A

; <<>> DiG 9.3.0 <<>> @ns2.lava.net www.crm.gov.mp A
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 27879
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;www.crm.gov.mp.                        IN      A

;; Query time: 689 msec
;; SERVER: 64.65.64.1#53(ns2.lava.net)
;; WHEN: Tue Dec 28 16:05:13 2004
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 32

but when I do a trace, it gives an answer:

dig @ns2.lava.net www.crm.gov.mp A +trace

Can anyone shed some light here or explain what could be amiss? I'm not a
DNS guru, so please be gentle :). Thanks.
