Sounds like "ns1.sun.com" was hosed. What do you get when you do the following: nslookup set type=soa sun.com ... Non-authoritative answer: sun.com origin = ns.sun.com mail addr = hostmaster.sun.com serial = 2006122201 refresh = 3600 retry = 1200 expire = 1038800 minimum = 900 Authoritative answers can be found from: sun.com nameserver = ns7.sun.com. sun.com nameserver = ns8.sun.com. sun.com nameserver = ns1.sun.com. sun.com nameserver = ns2.sun.com. ns1.sun.com internet address = 192.18.128.11 ns2.sun.com internet address = 192.18.99.5 ns7.sun.com internet address = 192.18.42.12 ns8.sun.com internet address = 192.18.43.12 ^D Try some of the other servers on this list.
