I have a user who cannot resolve
www.flickr.com
The name server I am querying is 9.5.0-P1 (to be updated to a patched
P2 tomorrow). When I query at one of the autoritative name servers,
I get:
oberon% dig www.flickr.com @ns1.yahoo.com.
; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> www.flickr.com @ns1.yahoo.com.
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

oberon%
but a general query results in SERVFAIL:
oberon% dig www.flickr.com
; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> www.flickr.com
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 2

oberon%
I notice that when I query one of the authoritative name servers I
get
;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.flickr.com. 5M IN CNAME www.flickr.vip.mud.yahoo.com.
www.flickr.vip.mud.yahoo.com. 15M IN A 68.142.214.24
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

mud.yahoo.com. 2D IN NS ns2.yahoo.com.
mud.yahoo.com. 2D IN NS ns3.yahoo.com.
mud.yahoo.com. 2D IN NS ns4.yahoo.com.
mud.yahoo.com. 2D IN NS ns5.yahoo.com.
Is the SERVFAIL because I queried
flickr.com
and the authority is
mud.yahoo.com ?
If not, then why am I getting SERVFAIL? Thanks.
