Re: [Declude.JunkMail] DNSREPORT/DNSSTUFF: DNS Lookup isBroken?

http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=grepel.de

results in:
[ERROR: The root servers say that the domain grepel.de does not have any NS
records (although they may have some other information on that zone). I can
not do a DNS report on a hostname (such as mail.example.com) or a domain
name that does not have its own zone.]

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnstime.ch?name=grepel.de&type=SOA

results in:

Answer: Does not exist.

The problem is with grepel.de.

If you go to http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=www3.grepel.de&type=A , you'll see that the parent ("root") servers for .de say that www3.grepel.de doesn't exist -- without ever sending you to NS records for www3.grepel.de.

I've been retrying for 15 minutes or so. Yet, at the same time, following
that same chain MANUALLY:

But:

> grepel.de.
Server:  dns.denic.de
Address:  194.246.96.79

de
        primary name server = dns.denic.de
        responsible mail addr = ops.denic.de
        serial  = 2003010330
        refresh = 10800 (3 hours)
        retry   = 7200 (2 hours)
        expire  = 3600000 (41 days 16 hours)
        default TTL = 86400 (1 day)

That's the SOA record for .de. When a DNS server returns a SOA record in response to a query, it means that the queried resource doesn't exist.
