This is one of the things that lots of people don't understand and often misconstrue... If you do a "dig @x.y.z.a foo.com +trace", the only thing that x.y.z.a is used for is root discovery. Once that response comes back, dig wanders off to the roots to perform the trace. AlanC -- Alan Clegg | +1-919-355-8851 | [email protected]
