'Err/TO' message

Tue Jan 29 12:44:07 UTC 2002

Kevin,

Sorry, I didn't realise that the attachment would get stripped! Plus, I've
never really used DOS at the command line so I didn't know how to send the
o/p to a file... yes, I know it's simple... I found out this morning!!

The o/p was from using nslookup on an NT box, hence the information wasn't
clear if it was authoritative. Thanks for hinting about dig - I've jumped
in at the deep end with that over the last 18 hours, learning how to use it
on the Linux box.

Anyway, the upshot of that is that I have been able to identify where the
problem was - because of the funny messages that dig returned! - & I've
resolved the problems... they were mainly syntax errors between stating the
master server in the SOA line & leaving dots off the ends of the NS FQH
names! I don't think that 'it' could reconcile the connected records!

Do you know of any version of DIG that runs on NT? I've searched the
internet through Google (...of the 'is our friend' type!) but I could only
find Unix/Linux versions that go with BIND.

Thanks,
Graham

The .bmp attachment was stripped.

The "dig" output should be plain text; why don't you post it as is?
