Subject: Duff root nameserver
For your enjoyment, it appears to us that one of the root nameservers has
no information about the .com domains.
UKERNA IT Support queried a problem with domain lookups and our
investigation
revealed that a.GTLD-SERVERS.NET is returning NXDOMAIN responses to
.com lookups.
Eg:
dig microsoft.com @a.GTLD-SERVERS.NET.
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 6
;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;; microsoft.com, type = A, class = IN
