difference in nslookup

[Armin Safarians]

	Sure, the feeling toward nslookup is certainly mutual, however
the problem still remains in that queries do not get passed back to my
machine. I confirm that with snoop at the network interface layer.

	I guess I proposed the problem as an nslookup issue. What I am
really after is the fact that this one particular server forwards out
but never received the query back. When I run dig, it goes through the
forwarders list( and fails)  and then hits the second entry in the
resolv.conf which is my secondary server and finally gets the response.
On the outside facing servers however I see the request arrive, leave
and never get back to the troubled server. I would think about some sort
of a network issue, except bouncing the bind server daemon fixed the
problem. ( I also eliminated some of the network equipment).


Thanks,
AMS :-)

nslookup is evil... well, ok, take a look at this:

It's going to be almost impossible to diagnose your problem if you don't
learn to use dig for investigating it.
