possible problem w/ 8.2.1

[Martin, Kevin]

My mistake.  I was running the 8.2 version of dig against the 8.1.2 server
that I reinstalled yesterday.  I just brought up the 8.2.1 named and ran the
dig and got these results:


../dig/dig @dns1 host.nc.il.nb.com 

; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> @dns1 host.nc.il.nb.com 
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 6
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;      host.nc.il.nb.com, type = A, class = IN

;; Total query time: 4 msec

;; WHEN: Tue Jun 29 11:12:07 1999
;; MSG SIZE  sent: 42  rcvd: 42

Sorry about that.

   I noticed that the 8.1 version of dig doesn't do that as well whereas the
   8.1 version of nslookup DOES append the suffixes.  It appears that the
8.2
   version of nslookup does the same thing as the 8.1 and 8.2 versions of
dig.
   Anyway, here's the info on "dig @dns1 host.nc.il.nb.com" (using dig8.2):


   ../dig/dig @dns1 host.nc.il.nb.com

   ; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> @dns1 host.nc.il.nb.com 
   ; (1 server found)
   ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
   ;; got answer:
   ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 6
   ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
   ;; QUERY SECTION:
   ;;      host.nc.il.nb.com, type = A, class = IN

Since this returns a proper NXDOMAIN error, I don't know why your search
isn't working.

I assume dns1 is the same machine as is listed in the "nameserver" lines in
their resolv.conf files, right?
