Hi Rick,<br><br>I am aware that it is a somewhat odd (but not incorrect, am I right ?) to put a non-recursive name server in the resolv.conf but I am not able to understand the behavioral difference of ping/dig and nslookup. <br>
<br>But logically shouldn't it be moving to the next name server when the first one fails even in the case of ping and dig. This is what, I think, one would expect from a resolver.<br><br>Can you please put some light?<br>

</div>Just out of curiosity, why do you have a non recursing name server in<br>
resolv.conf?<br>
