Serge - An understanding of how <authoritative>false</authoritative> is used needs to be given.
In DNSServer.java, the following code snippets /** * A TTL cache of results received from the DNS server. This * is a reference to a third party library object. */ private Cache cache; /** * Whether the DNS response is required to be authoritative */ private byte dnsCredibility; cache.lookupRecords(name, type, dnsCredibility); lead me to believe that this field specifies that the response must be authoritative or not; if this is set to TRUE, then all DNS lookups must be authoritative, otherwise it will fail. I recently spent some time trying to figure out why - certain hosts resolved incorrectly but were deliverable - certain hosts resolved incorrectly but were not deliverable - certain hosts resolved correctly It appears that if this is set to TRUE, domains were not resolved correctly; almost as if the server's recursion was turned off, and when set to FALSE, host resolution was performed as expected. The terms authoritative and Credibility are not clear with reference to org.xbill's intent. Can some light be shed on this ? _______________________ thanks, alan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
