Non-authoritative answer

[Robert Collins]

I queried a authoritative ns for globalnet.co.uk (that is your domain?) and
got

Non-authoritative answer: file://finding the name server
globalnet.co.uk nameserver = auth2.dns.gxn.net
globalnet.co.uk nameserver = auth3.dns.gxn.net
globalnet.co.uk nameserver = auth4.dns.gxn.net
globalnet.co.uk nameserver = auth1.dns.gxn.net

auth2.dns.gxn.net       internet address = 195.224.255.6
auth3.dns.gxn.net       internet address = 194.205.172.242
auth4.dns.gxn.net       internet address = 195.224.255.94
auth1.dns.gxn.net       internet address = 195.224.255.2
> server auth1.dns.gxn.net
Default Server:  auth1.dns.gxn.net
Address:  195.224.255.2

> set type=a
> globalnet.co.uk
Server:  auth1.dns.gxn.net // authoritative answer
 Address:  195.224.255.2

Name:    globalnet.co.uk
