Thank you Tony. <BR>

I see a cname pointing to another cname in this output. Is that the invalid cname? <BR>
I thought that sort of record was discouraged but not against the rules. <BR>
When I do a query on these cnames I get answers that seem meaningful.<BR>
I wonder why this would cause the odd results we are seeing ... where dig on fqdn fails until we do dig with +nssearch on the domain?<BR>
