I'm pretty sure I understand how DNS registers servers that are internal and they were added in that way, but it only seems to be showing the ones with funky names. Seems like there would have been SOME legitimate names in there, right? Also I wonder why it didn't work on anything but flavors of unix? NT didn't show it and the nslookup sites on the net didn't show it. Shouldn't an nslookup query the same name service info? Or possibly Microsoft uses internic and Unix queries the name server host of the organisation? Personally I only started this thread because I thought it was funny as hell when I saw it ;) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan West" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Andy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Erick B." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Adam Hickey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Natasha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Allen May" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2001 11:26 AM Subject: Re: OT: MS router fixed (was whois microsoft.com) > Well, if I don't know anything else at least I know > that you're the most friendly, helpful and informative > guy I've ever met....*grin* > > Seriously though, no flamebait here but why do I see > that funny junk when I run whois on microsoft.com and > aol.com?
