variable dig results

[Fr34k]

I suspect that dig is confused.  Let me explain.


Looks like WHOIS says that these (2) servers are authoritative for this domain:

ns1.thehartford.com.   ['162.136.188.1']   [TTL=172800] 
ns2.thehartford.com.   ['162.136.190.1']   [TTL=172800] 


However, the DNS configuration says something different, which lists these (4) servers instead:


hfdns3.thehartford.com  ['162.136.188.3']   [TTL=120] 
hfdns4.thehartford.com  ['162.136.188.4']   [TTL=120] 
simns3.thehartford.com  ['162.136.190.3']   [TTL=120] 
simns4.thehartford.com  ['162.136.190.4']   [TTL=120] 


As one can see, they do not match nor even overlap nor even agree.
Someone needs to decide which servers are really supposed to be authoritative for this domain and have alignment in all configurations.

Hope this helps.
