I don't have access to the name servers. How do I determine which version of bind they are running. I tried to do: nslookup server amethyst.it.utk.edu and got basically the same results. I think it can't talk to the name server, but I can't understand why. Also, my nsswitch.conf file has the line: hosts: files dns in it.
