Receiving Timeout from DNS Server for a zone file Not present in named.conf

[Darcy Kevin (FCA)]

Does this nameserver have direct access to the Internet root nameservers? If not, does it have forwarding enabled?

If the answer to both of those is "no", then a timeout is the expected behavior; that's what you get when you try to query nameservers that you can't reach.

                                                                                                                                                                - Kevin

Subject: Receiving Timeout from DNS Server for a zone file Not present in named.conf

Hello,

I have a query here,

I have named.conf configured But I do not have zone file configured for a domain name as "e164.ld"

I am sending out a query as
dig @<DNS Server IP> 8.7.9.8.6.0.3.6.6.9.1.e164.ld. NAPTR

; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.17.rc1.el6 <<>> 8.7.9.8.6.0.3.6.6.9.1.e164.ld.  NAPTR
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

I am receiving  a Connection TimeOut message

Should not i be receiving a NXDOMAIN response from DNS Server?

What are the scenarios, I will be receiving a Timeout, or a NXDOMAIN, or a REFUSED from DNS Server

I have Installed BIND on RHEL system! Would the reposnes be different in different servers like Linux, Solaris, CENTOS?
