I think you misunderstood me. I was getting back google.COM even when I queried the server using nslookup from a command prompt on my Windows desktop. The probe was failing because it is case-sensitive, but that was the symptom, not the problem.
For example: > google.com Server: athena.bart.gov Address: 148.165.30.30 Non-authoritative answer: Name: google.COM Addresses: 2607:f8b0:4005:801::200e 172.217.3.46 Given that the problem cleared after restarting BIND on its CentOS host, I'd say the problem was BIND. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Andrews [mailto:ma...@isc.org] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2016 5:19 PM To: Mike Bernhardt Cc: bind-us...@isc.org Subject: Re: BIND started replying to queries for .com with .COM Your monitoring probe is broken. STD 13 says that that the DNS is case preserving. The problem is that lots of servers aren't case preserving instead they echo back the query case in the owner names of records returned which named then records.
