I get "No mail exchanger (MX) records available for rimm.com"error just for a couple of domains

"from ns2"?  

 

Are you sitting on your ns2 server and typing this command?  If so it
may be your resolv.conf file doesn't specify "localhost".  Or it may be
you haven't configured ns2 to do root hints to look for external
domains.   Or it may be your ns1 has another server completely in its
resolv.conf.   Or it may be differences in the named.conf on the two
hosts.   You should investigate things in that order.

 

What version of BIND are you using?   What OS and version are you on?

Here is an update:

1- my bad: it should've been rim.com

2- When I perform this query from our ns1 server I do get the correct
result, but the same query from ns2 server fails

can't find rim.com: Non-existent host/domain

Any help would be highly appreciated; many thanks in advance.

Obviously Rimm's DNS cannot be down! What gives? Any ideas?
