DNS-problems or not for ttyl.com?

[Eivind Olsen]

Hello.

I'm currently looking into a DNS-issue and was hoping that someone could 
confirm/deny this issue.

The ttyl.com-zone is hosted on ns.online.no/dns1.eunet.no, where 
ns.online.no is the primary/master. And for some reason it doesn't give 
authoratitive answers, at least that's my impression:

eivind at susie:~/tmp > dig soa ttyl.com @ns.online.no

There should be an "aa"-flag in the flags-section, shouldn't it? At least I 
get that if I query dns1.eunet.no instead (but then I get an older 
zonefile).

According to the version on ns.online.no it seems to be running BIND 
4.9.8-T1B.

My guess is that someone has somehow managed to mess up the zonefile on 
ns.online.no so that it for some reason doesn't give authoratitive answers.
No, I don't have access to the logfiles on that server as it's being run by 
another company.

So, anyone think I've misunderstood something here, or could I be on the 
right track?
