The +trace option ignores the resolver that you specify after the "@" sign,
and begins at the root.

If I do:

dig @localhost +short +trace somehost.okstate.edu

on a server authoritative for the okstate.edu domain, I would expect
resolution via that authoritative system. I do get it but the query takes
the scenic route and I get all the root name servers just as if the query
was for some host outside our domains.


	Why? We are having issues with random latency right now so I started
checking everything I could and that is how I discovered this. I don't know
if that is normal or not _______________________________________________
