Just wondering why dig with nssearch and "@<ip>" produced two different answers when I ran it today. <BR>
I assume the @8.8.8.8 (in the example below) isn't actually happening ... or it happened in one test and not the other. <BR>
The results below were exactly as I saw them in the order that they are listed. <BR>
I do know that the parent domain (lgusa.com) is not delegating email.lgusa.com based on other output from"dig any email.lgusa.com @ns11.worldnic.com".<BR>
I'm hoping, though, to get a better understanding of how nssearch is working in this example:<BR>
<BR>
: dig lgusa.com +nssearch @8.8.8.8<BR>SOA NS11.WORLDNIC.COM. namehost.WORLDNIC.COM. 108022419 10800 3600 604800 3600 from server ns11.worldnic.com in 28 ms.<BR>SOA NS11.WORLDNIC.COM. namehost.WORLDNIC.COM. 108022419 10800 3600 604800 3600 from server ns12.worldnic.com in 39 ms.<BR>
