I'm not a router guru, maybe somebody can explain these results: $ dig 216.34.94.186 ; <<>> DiG 9.2.0 <<>> 216.34.94.186 ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 2646 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;216.34.94.186.

How do I chase this thing down to who actually owns it? Note I do get: $ host www.aljazeera.net www.aljazeera.net has address 216.34.94.186 So why the original error response if "host" can find it? Interesting! Patience, persistence, truth, Dr. mike
