tld access and catchall

[Kevin Darcy]

Well, first, do a "dig" on "lan" and see if it resolves correctly.

Assuming it does, then look at your query logs and see what is actually
being queried by the client. It's possible that your resolver simply
doesn't know how to deal with a TLD name.

Alternatively, try dot-terminating the name, e.g. "ping lan.". Maybe
your resolver will be able to handle the TLD name when presented that
way.
