Hi guys, I have an internal dns domain and sub domain. these are called bcc.its. (on thr server sysmast) and indpilly.bcc.its. (on the server indpilly) respectively. When I lookup the subdomain it timesout with this message *** sysmast.bcc.its can't find indpilly.indpilly.bcc.its : no response from the server But I do get a non authoritive reponse the otherway. There is a line in debug I would like to clarify with someone. sysquery: findns error (3) on indpilly.indpilly.bcc.its? Thanks Dave ---- This mail item has passed through an insecure network.
